Use an external GPS based on USB or Bluetooth.
My experience (installing and using MapInfo :-/ as the program receiving
GPS data on at least 50 devices) is, that integrated GPS devices always
is outclassed in a very short timeframe by even low cost external GPS.
You can buy an USB based GNNS receiver for 60$ that can use both GPS and
GLONASS. When this device either breaks or is outclassed quality-wise by
newer devices, then buy a new 60$ receiver without buying a new tablet.

Hi,
I'm trying to access the GPS data in QGIS on Windows tablets/laptops,
but it's a known issue that since Windows 8 the GPS data is no longer
sent to a COM port but is bundled in the Windows Location Provider.
Now it seems that the only possibility to get the GPS running with
QGIS is to use a third-party app like Centrafuse or GPSComplete, but
is there a open source solution out there? And is a fix (having QGIS
read the GPS data directly from the location provider in Windows)
planned or in the works?
Sincerely,
-Tariq Al-Sadoon
