About the Integrated GPS on Your Computer
Intermec recommends that you use the GPS Intermediate Driver
(GPSID) instead of directly accessing the GPS hardware. The GPSID is
a Microsoft software component that interacts between applications
and the GPS hardware.
As a Microsoft software component, the GPSID:
• allows multiple applications to simultaneously access the GPS data
stream.
• provides access to GPS data without requiring applications to
recognize and parse NMEA syntax.
Use the GPSID Installed on the Computer
To use the GPSID installed on your mobile computer, you need to
configure the GPSID settings.
1 Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS. The GPS Settings
screen appears with Programs selected.
2 Select the COM port that you want your programs to use to get
GPS data from your computer.
