Can a CCGX be configured to get GPS data via wifi?

I have a CCGX unit in my caravan that connects via wifi to a GPS enabled router also installed in the caravan. The two USB slots in the CCGX are full (wifi and BT dongles). Is it possible to use the GPS data from the router in the CCGX?

Don't think so.

Just use a USB hub in the CCGX USB port with a USB GPS. Works for me.

I agree with @kevgermany above. I have a Teltonika RUT X11 so could try and get GPS from that but I just got a USB hub and USB GPS.

There is a thread in the modifications section about how this can be done with various scripts in a Teltonika router and the Venus device. See
