Hi
Is is possible to tap into the GPS information from AA or even get the gps coordinates from the companion app?
I would give me the option to create a overspeed warning without connecting another gps dongle to my rpi.
GPS coordinates etc. from AA
Re: GPS coordinates etc. from AA
Hello,
Android Auto only allows for sending GPS data from external source. This means that by using Hudiy and GPSD, you can transmit data to Android Auto, e. g. from a GPS module connected to the Raspberry Pi. The companion app does not have a mechanism for exchanging GPS data between Hudiy and the phone. To do this via a dedicated app, it would be best to use Bluetooth and a custom service, as Android Auto takes over the WiFi module when running wirelessly on the phone.
In our opinion, the most reasonable option would be to use a GPS module connected to the Raspberry Pi, mainly due to the battery drain caused by the phone's built-in GPS.

Hello,
My thought was just since I already use the gps position from the phone for AA, the companion add could publish the gps coordinates through bluetooth to Hudiy. I was asuming the battery drain would be more or less the same. Only the overhead of sending it via bluetooth from companion app to Hudiy.
I will have a look at using an external gps module connected directly to the rpi.
Thanks
