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.
