GPS Link - Use Mobile GPS on Desktop Chrome

GPS Link is a unique Chrome extension that enables the sharing of an Android device's GPS location with your desktop or laptop's Chrome browser. This innovative tool considerably enhances the efficiency of testing web applications or services that utilize HTML5 geolocation. Implementing the extension involves a simple process: installation of the extension as well as a corresponding Android app, followed by device pairing through a QR code or URL. After this, the selected webpage on the desktop browser will utilize the GPS location of the paired Android device.
