title: How to get GPS data from Android phone?
body: <p>Is there a method to tether (USB wired) the GPS data from and Android phone to PC? I am using a GPSTether app currently that is based on the gpsd project. </p>
  
  <p>I am loooking for alternatives that give more control and is less buggy than that app. Also, is there another method of doing this without using any third party apps?</p>
  
  <p>I am working on a location aware software project and want to read the GPS data periodically. The GPSTether app does exactly that on a TCP port over telnet.</p>
