3.2.3 GPS/GNSS
Mesa Pro Geo/Cell models use an integrated 4G LTE cell modem
and GPS/GNSS receiver with an internal antenna to provide
position information. Use the Device Settings app to turn different
GNSS sentences on and off as desired. You can also return the
GNSS sentence settings to default.
Integrated GPS/GNSS Support in Windows
The Windows operating system provides built-in support for
GPS/GNSS devices. As part of that support, the Windows Sensor
and Location platform provides a standard way for GPS/GNSS
information to be made available to applications that have been
designed using the Windows Sensor and Location application
programming interfaces (APIs).
Legacy Support
In addition to the Sensor and Location APIs, legacy applications
that require access to a serial port can access NMEA data through
a serial COM port interface. The name of the COM port can be
found by using Device Manager and looking under Ports (COM &
LPT) for Sierra Wireless NMEA port (COMx) or Quectel USB NMEA
Port (COMx) where “x” is the port number allocated on your
device.
3.2.4 GPS/GNSS Accuracy
The GPS/GNSS antenna in the Mesa Pro is at the top under
the Mesa Pro label. It is intended to work in both portrait and
landscape view. Do not put your hand or another object over this
area; accuracy could be reduced. The more items between the
antenna and the satellites, the lower the accuracy.
