I couldn't remember how to setup my Orange SPV e650  to enable the GPS intermediate driver.

For those of you who don't know what I'm on about.    The Microsoft GPS Intermediate driver lets multiple programs share the same physical GPS.   In addition its a doddle to set any Intermediate driver aware application, i.e. Live Search Mobile just to use the Intermediate driver rather than flaff around with COM port settings.

Microsoft provides a control panel for Windows Mobile 6 professional,  but not for Windows Mobile 6 standard.   or in English.     If you have a phone type device without a stylus you won't have the GPS control panel.   (gross generalisation, I know).

Same information is also good for Windows Mobile 5.

 

What you need is the Smartphone GPS intermediate driver setup utility.

Which is contained as part of the Windows Mobile 6, SDK and located at

<installed drive>\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Tools\GPS

and called 'settings.exe'

To get the Windows Mobile 6,   SDK its here

 

Copy this to your device,  then run, with file-explorer.

You need to have first paired your GPS with your device, if you're connecting up a Bluetooth device (but you knew that right).
