Hello morco and everybody else that might be interested,
I've got it working, thanks to an amazing computer expert friend of mine!! but in the end I went for a totally different approach. The reason being that AMIDuOS doesn't even run on the tablet that I'll be using (Trimble T10). It shows a black screen, when starting DuOS. I googled a bit and found it is a problem that's been around for a while especially with Surface Pro users. Some Intel graphic driver issue. Overwriting with an old driver and stopping Windows updates is not a sustainable solution for a university computer.
In short I used MEmu player. It has the capability to use a bridged network mode. Inside the emulator one needs to install the app MockGeoFix. MockGeoFix listens on the bridged network's IP adress and constantly overwrite's the Android location. A linux bash terminal was installed in Windows and a short script written to transfer the NMEA strings from the com port to the TCP/IP where MockGeoFix listens.
You'll find the holistic set-up and installation guide I wrote here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Everything I did is explained in detail. I'll leave it up on my drive for a bit. If you read this too late, send me a message to get a copy.
Wish you all a happy time with Android+GPS on Win10!!
=)
P.S. @morco: replying to your last message:
o I had actually used your Amiduos version. that didn't help, though, unfortunately.
o You can activate developer options by clicking >Settings>About tablet> and then clicking 7 times on "build number"
