Update Home assistant home location from USB GPS adapter e.g. for caravan use.

So I have our Home assistant installed in and controlling our folding camper. Some automations will be location based on where the camper is sited, therefore I would like to insert a USB GPS in it and for Home assistant to update it’s base location from that GPS reading.

I know it’s silly but it doesn’t add your vote automatically.
