## Description

GPS Tether Client is a fast and secure solution for sharing GPS data between two Android devices over a WiFi connection. Ideal for scenarios like road trips, sea navigation, or trekking, it allows your smartphone (server) to tether its GPS location to your tablet (client), enabling usage of location-based apps on a larger screen. The extension features encrypted GPS data transfer to protect your location, automatic server discovery, customizable runtime for battery optimization, and the ability to manually add servers or scan automatically. Both devices must be on the same WiFi network, and no internet connection is needed. It requires pairing with the GPS Tether Server app and supports devices running Android 6 and above with necessary permissions enabled. Whether using your phone as a WiFi hotspot or sharing GPS indoors, GPS Tether Client offers versatile and secure location sharing capabilities.
