mock GPS, bluetooth GNSS receivers #52

I have found BT GNSS receivers both use less battery than phone GPS, and it overcomes wonky compass in phones (like samsung note4 or s5 (which often have waze showing me driving backwards on the freeway)).

The various free BT android apps use mock location (atop enabled gps). I have not yet encountered a navigation app that complains. Many apps are happy even if the phone gps is not enabled (toggled on).

Will your app collect position information this way? Allowing wifi correlation? or whatever BackEnds or lookup apps are installed?

with- or without android device gps toggled on?

search Bluetooth Gps Provider for this, but it would be nice if UnifiedNlp take over GPS provider too
