This code sample is named MobileGPS. The solution (MobileGPS.sln) is made up of three interdependent projects.
| Projects | Description |
|---|---|
MobileGPSUI |
This project implements the Windows Mobile powered device UI. Minor changes have been made to this project to use MobileGPSDemo. This project was generated using the Visual Studio Wizard. |
MobileGPSLib |
This lib file implements the core logic required to communicate with the GPS intermediate driver. In addition, it provides an abstraction to ease the process of asynchronously handling the GPS Intermediate events. |
MobileGPSDemo |
This project uses MobileGPSLib to communicate with the GPS Intermediate driver. |

To run the code sample
Navigate to the solution file (*.sln), and double-click it. By default, the solution file is copied to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\Common\CPP\Win32\gpsMicrosoft Visual Studio 2005 launches and loads the solution.
Ensure that the Intermediate Driver is set to emulate the GPS hardware.
Build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).
Deploy the solution (F5).
Development Environments
SDK: Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK and Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK
Development Environment: Visual Studio 2005.
ActiveSync: Version 4.5.
Demonstrates
MobileGPS demonstrates how to use native GPS Intermediate Driver Reference to asynchronously retrieve the location data and the GPS Intermediate Driver state.
Comments
The MobileGPSUI project has a linker input dependency on the gpsapi.lib library file.
It is left as an exercise for you to write the implementations for the two GPSSink "Set" functions, SetGPSPosition(GPS_POSITION gps_Position) and SetGPSDeviceInfo(GPS_DEVICE gps_Device).
| Assumptions |
|---|
Either the retail Windows Mobile powered device is GPS enabled, or the device emulator has been setup to simulate the GPS hardware. |
