Windows 10 Internals GPS receiver
« on: August 01, 2020, 01:30:26 PM »
TF is a great piece of software. Being able to connect a GPS receiver to it is great but the present method is very difficult and many wires. Seems always to fail when I go jeeping so I use a different software that uses the internal GPS of my computer.  Just wondering if you added the capability to use the internal GPS it would be one of the best..

If the internal GPS supports emulating a serial (COM) port and shooting out NMEA format, it will work in NMEA mode with TF.  Some people do that.

If there's a newer windows API for accessing the internal GPS, though, we should add support for it, for sure.  Thanks for the nudge.
