Windows 10: What GPS Forwarding Input format does Windows Maps use/prefer/support.

What GPS Format does Windows Maps use/prefer/support. I have a Surface Pro hard connected to a PepLink wireless cellular router in my vehicle. Windows maps displays addresses input, but does not show the vehicle's movement toward the destination. The PepLink has many manual GPS forwarding options and I need to know how to configure it to work with Windows Maps. PepLink support advises me to ask Microsoft for the GPS Forwarding information. Can you help me with this. The Peplink GPS Forwarding options are in the Pepwave configuration dashboard include:1. Server Address or Host Name2. Protocol

using gps input for windows maps

Hi

I want to know how to configure windows maps to accept real time gps input from my usb port. The data format is NMEA 0183, industry standard GPS output. I am using a ND-100S GPS dongle, which works with several other programs on this PC including google
earth. But I like the maps presentation better.

Does surface pro have a built in gps the data could come from? (I think not).

Anyway please advise because when driving around I don't have continuous Wi-Fi, so live GPS input would be great for continuous update.

Ovi Maps breaks my E71 GPS connection

Hi scoobyman ( and NAMEwithheld, GMOSCARDO too),



My GPS is working again ... not sure if its something I did or it just decided to work again. Here are the steps that I took (partially inspired by suggestions by scoobyman):

• Menu > Tools > Settings > General
• Scroll down (off screen) to "Positioning" and click to enter
• Click/enter "Positioning methods"
• I had/have "Assisted GPS", "Integrated GPS" and "Network based" checked and "Bluetoot GPS" un-checked.
• To fix the problem I un-checked (by choosing "disable") "Assisted GPS", "Integrated GPS" and "Network based" i.e. un-check all positioning methods, clicked "Back" to ensure that settings were applied.
• Start up OVI Maps
• Task switch back to "GPS Positioning" settings
• Check/select "Integrated GPS", clicked "Back" to ensure that settings were applied.
• Task switch back to Maps, it started picking up my position after a few seconds and the "GPS meter" is working again i.e. 4-6 green bars
• Task switch back to "GPS Positioning" settings, enabled "Assisted GPS and "Network based".
• Task switch back to Maps, confirm that GPS tracking/meter is still working.

However, after writing out these steps, the problem returned, so these steps may or may not work for you. When I repeated the steps, it fixed the problem again but I need to try it on a long journey to see
it it will work for any length of time.
