Appendix
B
Bluetooth GPS Setup
WingX requires NMEA string input from a GPS receiver. This chapter
describes one way to setup a Pocket PC device so that WingX will receive the
GPS data.
Windows Mobile 5.0 adds a GPS Manager that adds yet another layer of functionality
and complexity to the GPS setup. This appendix describes how to setup the Pocket
PC and WingX so that WingX can use the GPS data. Please note that in this chapter,
we describe one possible setup and the actual settings may vary with each GPS
receiver and other Pocket PC settings and applications.
