Broadcasting GPS on the local network

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

A Linux-focused blog post shows how to broadcast a local GPS source on a home network using NMEA 0183 over MDNS. By publishing an MDNS service for _nmea-0183._tcp and serving NMEA sentences from a simple TCP server, Geoclue and GNOME/Firefox can pull accurate coordinates locally, with testing steps and potential privacy implications.
