This is an article I want to record here on my blog. I would venture to say that most of my readers would not be interested but my son may be so here it is recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n By John M. (Intel)<\/a>, published on December 13, 2012 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Translate<\/p>\n\n\n\n In an earlier blog post titled “Develop location-aware, Metro style apps when your development system doesn\u2019t have GPS<\/a>“,\n one option I presented for those wishing to develop high-precision \nlocation-based Windows Store apps is to hook up an external GPS to your \ncomputer. What I want to do now is explore this method in greater \ndetail, and I\u2019m creating a three-part series on doing so with a software\n application called GPSDirect<\/a> from TurboIRC.COM Software & Research<\/a>.\n In part one, we\u2019ll introduce the GPSDirect sensor driver and learn how \nto use it. In parts two and three, we\u2019ll look at connecting an external \nGPS recevier and an Android-based smart phone as a GPS provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 1. Introducing GPSDirect<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 2. Using an external, handheld GPS.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Part 3. Using an Android smartphone as a GPS receiver<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
