Overview More and more Windows Mobile powered devices ship with integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware. Since people typically use Windows Mobile devices on the road, it makes a lot of sense to add location awareness to the applications. This webcast shows how to make proper use of the GPS Intermediate Driver to access GPS information from inside managed applications. The presenter also discusses how to use the FakeGPS utility to test location-enabled applications without needing access to physical GPS hardware.
