This is an article I want to record here on my blog. I would venture to say that most of my readers would not be interested but my son may be so here it is recorded.

In an earlier blog post titled “Develop location-aware, Metro style apps when your development system doesn’t have GPS“, one option I presented for those wishing to develop high-precision location-based Windows Store apps is to hook up an external GPS to your computer. What I want to do now is explore this method in greater detail, and I’m creating a three-part series on doing so with a software application called GPSDirect from TurboIRC.COM Software & Research. In part one, we’ll introduce the GPSDirect sensor driver and learn how to use it. In parts two and three, we’ll look at connecting an external GPS recevier and an Android-based smart phone as a GPS provider.

Part 1. Introducing GPSDirect

Part 2. Using an external, handheld GPS.

Part 3. Using an Android smartphone as a GPS receiver
