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.
