Communivcate with built in gps?

[drasko]

I have HP hx6515 pocket pc with built-in GPS. Is there any way to use
OpenNETCF (it has support for serial GPS) to get data from GPS on my
device?
Thanks

You'll have to tell us how applications on the HP device communicate with
the GPS. Read the manual and see what software is available in the device
SDK or whatever add-on SDK HP provides. My guess is that it is still set up
to act like a serial port and you just have to figure out what port it is...

Hi,

You should be able to use the GPS class in the SDF, or DecodeGPS (Compact
Framework version) from my homepage. Both of these assume standard serial
interfaces, along with NMEA-0183 data from the receiver -- and I think that
is what you will have with your PPC.

You are right, it acts as it is connected to COM7.

Thank you both
