seems You are doing exactly what I looking for but could it be more simple?

I am looking to build a GPS data forwarding over ESP8266. The server will be an Arduino. The client should be as simple as possible. Client will have just GPS module NE06M with serial interface 9600bps. Can I use somehow ESP to forward my serial stream to server ESP without arduino board on client side? I mean do transparen serial just by using ESP (something similar as to use BT for wireless serial connection)

Why on earth would you waste an Arduino when one of my examples even shows an ESP8266-01 decoding the UDP and driving serial and driving an OLED? Like $2 for ESP8266-01 and $4 for the optional OLED.
