10‐3. Configure the GPS Intermediate Driver
The GPS Intermediate Driver is a software layer between a Windows Mobile application and
the GPS hardware drivers. This allows applications to work with a variety of GPS hardware.
The GPS Intermediate Driver uses the registry to determine what COM port should be used
to communicate with the GPS hardware. The recommended way to configure the registry to
work with your GPS device is the GPS Settings icon
1. From the Start menu, click Settings. On the System tab, click the External GPS icon. On
some devices, this item has a different name.
2. On the Programs tab, select any available COM port from
the GPS Program Port drop‐down list. The GPS data sent
through the GPS Intermediate Driver is streamed to
applications through this port. This should not be the same
port that your GPS receiver is configured to use. If your
application can't receive GPS data stream, leave GPS
Program Port for empty. Applications will use GPS
Hardware Port as communication port.
