Enabling the Integrated GPS on the CN50
The CN50 comes equipped with an integrated Global Positioning
System (GPS) receiver. It can deliver standards-based National Marine
Electronics Association (NMEA) data strings to GPS applications.
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.
Using the GPSID allows Intermec support for Extended Ephemeris,
which enhances GPS performance by:
• reducing the amount of time it takes your GPS receiver to acquire
a fix.
• eliminating the need to obtain precise satellite data information
from the GPS satellites.
As a Microsoft software component, the GPSID also:
• allows multiple applications to simultaneously access the GPS data
stream.
• provides access to GPS data without requiring applications to
recognize and parse NMEA syntax.
Using the GPSID Installed on the CN50
To use the GPSID installed on your CN50, you need to configure the
GPSID settings.
1 Tap Start > Settings > System (tab).
2 Tap External GPS. The GPS Settings screen appears.
