We have contacted Sprint to try and clear up any misconceptions about TetherGPS. Hopefully we reach the right individuals to see a swift resolution.

We apologize if your access to TetherGPS has been affected by this unfortunate incident. We will keep you updated on the progress with Sprint. You’re more than welcome to send us emails regarding this issue, or another issue you may be having.

Again, we apologize for any interruption in the usage of TetherGPS, and we’ll do what we can to ensure it returns to Google Play for Sprint customers.

Instructions

Step One

Download TetherGPS Lite [Link].

Step Two

Install TetherGPS. When prompted, enable 3rd party apps and enable mock locations in the development settings menu.

Step Three

Install Google Maps.

Step Four

Make sure the Nook Tablet is connected to your phone’s wifi hot spot, the TetherGPS server is running on your phone, and the TetherGPS client is running on your Nook Tablet.

To launch any of the apps, you can click your “n” button, hit search, and start to type in their names. They will appear in, and can be launched from, the search list. (thanks to jdlothar for this tip!)

We’re in the process of creating a proper tutorial for installing TetherGPS on your Nook Tablet. For advanced users, you might be aware that the Nook Tablet has been rooted, so gaining access to the marketplace to install TetherGPS is also possible.

prittsaudio over on YouTube hacked his 2002 Honda Accord with a Nook Color control panel. 5:09 shows Maps and Navigation. Look closely at the status bar, and you’ll see TetherGPS running in the background.
