C# and gps

[gordon]

Hi

I would like to write an application that will use gps and bluetooth to
calculate the speed of my vehicle. I would like to display this on my PDA.
I have a bluetooth GPS device and an IPAQ PDA.

I already have some GPS software but I would like to develop some of my own
using C#.

Any assistance or help with code will be appreciated.

thanks

doug

A GPS device usually uses a serial port to communicate over, but I believe
that there are now GPS systems that use USB ports as well. In either case,
you need to connect to the port to read the GPS stream. A GPS stream is a
string of NMEA text. Her
