Hi, is it possible to share a gps location from my android phone and have it open google maps on my computer or other android tablet via kde connect? I’m trying to make it so send a gps location via kde connect it will either show up as a notification, or just open up google maps with the sent location. Currently it seems like kde connect just sends the coordinates as text, and that’s not what i want. My goal is to have a tablet in my car, and via kde connect, i can share locations directly to the tablet. The tablet doesn’t have google play, otherwise i could probably use something like pushbullet. I would prefer to use kde connect for this job, but i’m open to suggestions if anyone has any. Thanks

Would also love this functionality. Rather than buy a dedicated GPS receiver, I’d like to be able to piggyback a laptop off of my phones built-in one.

It would be great feature if it is possible to be implemented. I think KDE Connect should be able to create a virtual GPS device that catch the data from the phone’s device.
That would be very useful feature for finding missing phone.
Why?
Android has a functionality Find my phone, but this is not working on GrapheneOS. If you are using KDE Connect via VPN, that would be a very useful feature - to find where your phone is. Ringing is OK, if you have lost your phone in the vicinity of your computer. But if you are using VPN, that would be a really nice feature.
Are there any plans to implement this? Which developers could be contacted directly?
