Another really cool device I tried recently is the 1058-GPS from Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd. This is another plug-in for the MC70 and it draws the power from the MC70 directly. Accessing it programmatically is a no-brainer - simply listen to COM1 and interpret the NMEA data sentences that it spew out. For industries that need to track the whereabouts of their staff and delivery vehicles, this is a perfect accessory for your MC70, which has GPRS and Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing you to transmit the geographical locations back to the server real time using wireless connections (GPRS or wireless hotspots).I have an actual sample on how to perform real-time tracking using GPS and Pocket PCs at: http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/32938/1763.
I will be covering how to use the 1058-GPS Module in the upcoming course -
Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Programming using the .NET Compact Framework 2.0. Register for the course today!
