DIY tcp and $RC3 protocol

Hello everyone, I am building an ESP32-based DIY device and have the GPS data and accelerometer/gyroscope data on it.
Since I was already building my tools, I have the data relayed to an Android app that I built and is paired to the device.
I successfully created a TCP server in the app and I am using the "RaceChrono DIY" option pointing localhost and my tcp port I could send $RC3 messages. I used the article "Tutorial: DIY devices" as reference, and I was wondering if I could send GPS data over the TCP connection from my android app too instead of using the smartphone GPS. I tried searching some more info on the protocol but I failed to get more. Also in the RaceChrono app there is no DIY option for GPS devices (or I fail to see it ).
Anyone has some more details or know if it is possible to achieve GPS over TCP?

    Found it! In the DIY device I added NMEA to to the tick marks, and sending the NMEA sentences to the TCP socket it started working!
