Toggle On Activate Apps from Unknown Sources
The first thing you want to do is make your Fire HD 10 Tablet start acting like a true Android device with the Google Play Store downloaded and operating. To do that, you’ll have to turn on the Activate Apps From Unknown Sources feature:
- Open the Settings icon.Select Security & Privacy.Select Apps From Unknown Sources.Toggle it on.
Download the Correct APK File
Now you need the APK file for what you want to download. You will have to use a third-party website to do this, so be very careful what you select. APKMirror is an excellent source for this, is trusted, and should be your go-to source for downloading from “unknown sources.”
Now open your files folder to see all of the files that are available for the Google Play Store. There should be four, possibly five. Go through them, one at a time, tapping Continue > Install for each one you select.
Reboot your tablet and when it comes back around, the Google Play Store icon will be available on your Fire Tablet. Open it and sign in as you would on any other Android Device.
Use the search bar to type in “Bluetooth GPS Provider,” which will be the app that you want to download.
There are many such devices available, but here are some good ones that you can try out:
Dual Electronics Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver
- Open the app.Select the three dots in the upper right-hand corner.Select your new receiver.Go back to the app’s home screen.Select the Play button.
GlobalSat ND Micro USB GPS Receiver
This little device plugs directly into the micro USB port on your Fire Tablet and otherwise works just like Dual Electronics. However, you will have to set it up in your Bluetooth GPS Provider app, just like you will any GPS device.
Qstarz BT GPS Receiver
This one is similar to the Dual Electronics GPS Receiver in that you only have to pair your Bluetooth and turn it on in the Bluetooth GPS Provider app. Since it’s small, you can easily store it in the dash as you travel or keep it in your pack if you’re out hiking.
