D3300 - Possible to use two hot shoe accessories at the same time?

I currently use a Godox TT685II-N flash with my Nikon D300.

I want to add a GPS receiver, to be able to geotag the photos I take.

I was considering getting a Micnova GPS-N PLUS (£50 new on Amazon UK) but I can see this also uses the hot shoe.

Is it possible to use both of these devices (flash and GPS receiver) at the same time?

The GPS listing does not actually say it, but I think it is just a cold-shoe attachment. It uses a cable to connect to the USB connector of the camera which is how the data is transferred. So what you really would need is a way to attach it other than the hot-shoe. It could be a video cage with a cold-shoe. Some L-brackets have screw attachments also that could have possibility.

In case you need to turn your single hot shoe into two, there are little gizmos that do it and that you can buy for little money. This is one I found on Amazon.fr, but it will of course be available elsewhere:
