GPS Tether Client+ for Android
here is some logcat from my tablet: W/LocationManager( 8126): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Incomplete location object, missing timestamp or accuracy?

Looked like it dropped out in back ground as soon as I went to an app that required the position data
I've been using this app to transmit GPS information from my Tablet to my Phone which had a broken GPS antenna. Server+ (Nexus 7 2012 Wifi on CM11.2) and Client+ (HTC DesireHD CM7.2) The client+ app works most of the time, other than some buggy app run time problems which sometimes terminates the app before the set-time. This problem can be avoided by changing the app run time, then completely exit out of the app then reopen the app. The server+ is riddled with problem. The server-to-client connection is easily interrupted upon going into and coming out of the lockscreen. While the screen is locked, the server+ app remains finicky. I've experience several loss of connection between the server and the client during a short ride. It could be caused by the simple loss of GPS signal. When coming out of the lockscreen, the server goes into a frenzy of GPS locked-on, loss of signal. The loop continues in the notification until I actually enter into the app, then the server stabilizes at Locked-on. In all, it's a buggy app. I've reverted back to TetherGPS for further testing. At this moment I cannot recommend this app to anyone. Although your mileage may vary.
Tested to work for Google map navigation. Didn't crash like TetherGPS paid version. My aging HTC Desire HD on Cm that has a few broken modules can now be used as a GPS
Wow! Works really well on my HTC!!
Works great when it works, will give 5 stars when this is fixed
just crashes and disconnects constantly, its a shame the refund button disappears faster than you can test the app out
Keep in mind that not all devices can use 3G and WiFi at the same time, so if your tablet has 3G and your phone does not, then make the tablet wifi hot spot and connect the phone with it. The GPS enabled device is not obligatory to be the wifi hot spot.
It has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it will work sometimes it will disconnect from the server. I purchased both client and server apps and buggy at the moment

Client side works fairly well but the required server side is very flaky so the total solution is not recommended. There are better solutions out there.
