Global positioning system (GPS) accessories, hosts and methods that use radio frequency transmission of raw GPS data

摘要

GPS accessories for host devices include a GPS Radio Frequency (RF) receiver that receives GPS signals over a GPS radio frequency and obtains raw GPS data from the GPS signals. A wireless RF transmitter wirelessly transmits the raw GPS data to a host device over a non-GPS radio frequency. The wireless RF transmitter may include an ad hoc short range wireless network transmitter, such as a Bluetooth transmitter.
