GPS Location using MP2006 Control

GPS Location using MP2006 Control
Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:15:29 -060
Is there any way we can get GPS location for the current location using 
MappointControl object or Mpapoint Application object instead of directly 
talking to GPS receiver ?.

Baski,

Do you mean something other than Tools ... Location Sensor?

Not really AFAIK - this is not exposed in the object model. My
suggestion would be to use something like Franson GPSGate and
intercept / interpret NMEA position reports.

No really.  However, interfacing with the serial data stream from a GPS 
receiver is straight forward.  In fact, I provide a free GPSControl on my 
homepage, with MP example code, that does it for you.  There are both 
ActiveX and .NET versions.
