I want to build a device which collects location information with GPS using the internet via a SIM card.
I also need this data to be transferred to my Android device via a USB cable for realtime processing.

Currently, in one of my Android apps, I collect location information from the built-in GPS module of the mobile phone. But this is sometimes inaccurate due to hardware limitations and Operating system throttling.
This affects real-time processing in the app.

So, I want to make a dedicated GPS device which outputs the location data via a USB cable to the mobile phone so that the app could process it in real-time.

Hi,

I am looking into developing a GPS module which communicates with an Android phone via a USB cable.
I am an Android engineer who is new to hardware engineering.

Any help is much appreciated.

@salmanfaris thanks a lot.

@salmanfaris thanks for the reply Salman .
Is it difficult to transfer the data via a USB cable instead of Bluetooth?
Also, can we have all these data transfer modes in a single module ?

1. Transfer the data via Bluetooth if is connected.
2. Transfer the data via a USB cable if it is plugged in.
3. Transfer the data over the internet.

If we have all these modes in a single module, will it increase the processor load ?
