mdelolmo, Did you come up with a workaround? I have the same requirement: vista laptops equipped w/GPS devices and I need a precise position fix.
One alternative in a controlled environment might be to install a program on the laptops that periodically poll the GPS device and push the position data into a purpose-built table in your Gears local database (if you wrote the program in Java, you would use the SQLite JDBC driver, for example). The Gears application would then rely on this table for position data, bypassing Gears geolocation entirely. Of course it would be really nice if Gears picked up GPS devices on non-Windows Mobile devices.
