B4J Question How to receive the data from the integrated GPS receiver?

[Deleted member 103]

Hi,

I want to write an application for a Windows tablet with an integrated GPS receiver.
How to receive the data from an external GPS receiver is clear to me, but how to receive the data from the integrated GPS receiver is not clear to me.
Does anyone have suggestion?

Looking in Microsoft's C#, you will find a namespace which is called System.Device.Location. After determing in the control panel which gps device driver is installed in your system you can try for further investigation to find an SDK for the gps device. After that you decide to write a c#->Java wrapper or you try to direct call the GPS API function's from your Java Code.

Thank you @thetahsk ,
it won't be easy for me.
It will be easier if I develop the application completely with Visual Studio.

Or you write a C# server that provides the GPS coordinates, which you pick up with B4J. You can use the .net B4XSerializator

[B4X] .Net Framework implementation of B4XSerializator

B4XSerializator is included in the internal RandomAccessFile library. The attached dll is for .Net Framework applications. B4XSerializator is a great tool that makes it simple to share data between B4A, B4i and B4J. It takes care of converting objects, including complex objects, to bytes and...

Wow! It looks very simple.

I have to study that.
