GPS/GNSS Support
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 “u-blox Virtual COM port
(COMx) where “x” is the port number allocated on your device.
GPS/GNSS Accuracy
The GPS/GNSS antenna is at the top under the notification
LEDs. It is intended to work in both portrait and landscape view.
Do not put your hand or another object over this area. Accuracy
may be reduced. The more items between the antenna and the
satellites, the lower the accuracy.
Camera
The SHC6000 has a front facing camera that is 2 MP and a rear
facing camera that is 8 MP.
You can capture both still images and videos using the
camera application. Other options include a timer, flash, and
brightness settings.
Photo and Video Library
Photographs and videos are automatically stored in the
Pictures folder.
Power Management
The SHC6000 runs on battery power, using a rechargeable, Li-
Ion battery pack. The SHC6000 also has an internal battery. The
SHC6000 operates on either or both battery packs.
