GPS in Windows Mobile

How can I get GPS cables in the Windows mobile app? The sample app that comes with the SDK doesn't seem to work. I also have a wm 6.5 SDK which I heard had GPS stuff but I can't find it. Let me know if you have any good examples.

Go with GPS.Net . It's a great library, very easy to use and compatible with a whole bunch of hardware implementations.



We used it for the Windows Mobile and Windows Xp / Vista versions of the applications.

As of WCE 5.0 microsoft includes a gps intermediate driver that sits in front of the gps devices and provides an api to get location information.

Basic api docs here

The api you should use to get the position is documented here



Managed code documents and examples here

IIRC you may need to configure the driver on some devices, I think this is the case when it tells which one the gps device is connected to. Also I seem to remember that you can set it up on the emulator and provide it with a track log file and it will return positions based on the file's contents for testing purposes.
