Hi Everyone, I am trying to use the Geolocation API on Windows Mobile 6 on a Mitac Mio A701 (with built in GPS).
Unfortunately I cannot get the GPS to give me a position in Gears. I have tried the example code and it returns my position using cell info (well I assume that it does, because it has an error of 2670, and is always a fixed location near where I am). I have enableHighAccuracy set to true. I have copied the example code to my site and get the same problem: a quick but inaccurate response. My GPS is set up as per the instructions posted on http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/06/07/620387.aspx The program port is on COM4 (actual hardware on my device is on COM2). GPS Applications can use COM4 succesfully. I have also tried using gears to access the page offline, so that no network request is attempted, but this only results in no position being returned at all, not even a timeout. I have left it for over 10 minutes, and it does not return. From the code, it appears as if the timeout is set to 1 minute to connect and 5 minutes for a fix. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks Neil
