    [RESOLVED] Getting timeouts using internal GPS on phone in legacy app.

    Hi all,

    I have a home written app that uses the serialport to gather the NMEA sentences from a GPS receiver.

    This worked fine on WM2003 and WM5, but now I have moved to a phone with an integrated GPS received, I only get timeouts after I open it.

    Other app TT7 and google maps have no issues using the same serial port/settings.

    Do I have to do anything in code to 'start' the GPS receiver?

    Many Thanks,

    Paul.

    Coincidence that you should mention this... we're facing a similar problem in this project/thread.

    Care to share some code?

    (Also, this probably isn't an ASP.NET question, what language are you using?)

    Hiya,

    I am using VB.net for this project so can someone move this thread to the relevant section?

    I'm going to read through your project thread and see if we can resolve this issue..

    Cheers,

    Paul.

    Moved. I assume you're using the compact framework, what class library are you using to open the GPS ports?

    what phones support GPS NMEA with the bluetooth serial port profile?

    I couldn't get it to work with the built in serial class, so I used the open source class from OpenNetCF.com
