GPS - outofmemoryexception since WM6

[Frank]

okay, now I am totally confused: I followed Erel's GPS example tutorial and ran the simple GPS application with GPSGate, and that works!
So now all I have left to do is compare the two apps...

Thanks,
Frank

Hi all,
now I have the same problems as most of HTC or WM 6 users with internal GPS. None of my GPS apps will work. I tested Erel’s DeviceApplication3 and got only some data (maybe less than 1%). The port will be opened without any error message but most of the data are missing or there is no transfer. I tested another GPS app which was written with C++ and it works perfect. The developer, a really very friendly man gave me some hints, which items are different since WM6:
1. The internal GPS is connected via I²C - bus and not via hardware serial port.
2. The data transfer is done by software emulation of a serial port.
3. The port will be opened shared
Maybe this can help to solve the problems with these devices.

Can you please try to use this library and see if it works:
GPSInt - Microsoft GPS Intermediate Driver Interface

I have the some problem using GPS4PPC on a HTC Touch phone. I have 5 other GPS programs that can use the standard port # 4 with no problems but GPS4PPC needs GPSGATE to read the GPS port. I have tried changing the port in the MS Intermediate Driver interface, Portsplitter, Commshare and Commpipe all to no avail???

A new official wrapper above Microsoft Intermediate GPS Driver will be release next month and hopefully solve these problems.

Whoohoo that's great news, finaley we can develop GPS applications

btw. "Next Month" is that in 5,15 or 25 days ?

[Erel]

More like 25 days. But that is only an estimation.
