Bug Description
This is a feature request.
I see there is support to get the location from the network.
It would be nice to expand this to include GPS data.
As an example, I can install BlueNMEA on my Android phone and have it send NMEA data via bluetooth or via TCP.
On linux, this can be read by gpsd and displayed nicely with cgps
This would be useful in a remote location where there is only GPS available.
Linux can be configured to get the time via GPS (refer http://
To get the time from GPS on Windows, it seems the solutions are expensive (assuming they work), so further configuration would be needed (maybe running a Raspberry Pi with both an NTP server and NMEA feed ?)
