A new application called TetherGPS has hit the Android market that helps you use GPS features on non-GPS devices, such as a NOOKcolor. The application works by installing a server on the GPS-enabled phone you’re using and a client on the NOOK.
From there, the phone will feed the device GPS information over WiFi. (The NOOK has to be on the same WiFi network, so users would have to use their phones to tether.)
Sounds a bit cumbersome, but it’s a neat-sounding utility that only adds more functionality to what has quickly become the most popular budget tablet out there. Head to the Android market if you can find some use for this thing. [Engadget]
