TopoFusion Pro / Support for internal GPS in new Windows 8 devices??
« on: December 02, 2013, 02:09:03 PM »
I'm considering the purchase of a Toshiba Encore for a variety of reasons. This is a Win8.1 tablet with an 8 inch touchscreen. There are similar products from other vendors (notably the Venue 8 Pro from Dell) but one of the unique features of the Toshiba is an integrated GPS sensor. This gives an opportunity for a standalone GPS tablet running Topofusion which can fit in a Camelback. This could be very handy in the field. I imagine taking this with me on MTB recon rides, after pre-downloading the aerial and topo maps for the area.
So my question . . . will Topofusion's Live Tracking feature be able to "connect" to the GPS data on the Toshiba Encore? I assume that the GPS format/protocol in the Toshiba is a standard Windows location API. I don't see that as an option for the GPS type in the Live Tracking configuration screen in Topofusion.
