[Qgis-user] Android GPS streaming to QGis

[G. Allegri]

You need to bridge your Android device and something that emulate a serial
port device for your laptop.
I don't have experience with them, neither I know if open source solutions
are available, but there are various solutions on the market, many of them
using Bluetooth as the transmission mean between Android and the PC.

Recently I heard about BlueNMEA and GPSDirect (this one for Windows and
free only for non-commercial use).
