The antenna on a gps receiver is NOT directional and has no idea what direction
the signal came from. It  will receive signals from
any direction. It is the satellite that tells the receiver where it ( the
satellite) is. And if the signal from you computer is stronger than that gps
signal, sorry, no luck (or lock)
