USE GPS
CN75 and CN75e computers come equipped with an integrated Global Positioning
System (GPS) receiver if the computer model has phone capability (WWAN radio).
The GPS receiver can deliver standard National Marine Electronics Association
(NMEA) data strings to GPS applications.
About the Integrated GPS on Your Computer
Honeywell 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 in the horizontal
scroll bar at the top of the screen.
2. Select the COM port that you want your programs to use to get GPS data from
your computer.
3. Tap Access on the horizontal scroll bar.
