LinksPoint GPS C++ &
.NET Toolkit
The LinksPoint GPS C++ and .NET Toolkits are Application Program
Interfaces (API) designed to simplify communications
between a GPS receiver and its host, typically a Windows
Mobile or Palm OS based handheld computer (although it
can also be used for desktop and laptop applications). The toolkit
handles messages from most popular GPS protocols,
including NMEA, Sirf, Rockwell, JRC and others.
The toolkit's Programmer Reference materials (see
links above) describe
the setup and syntax of each API function. These
functions include:
- Get current latitude and longitude (in radians or
degrees)
- Get current altitude and ground speed
- Enable or Disable communications with the GPS
receiver
- Get the GPS baud rate and communications
port using patented technology
- Get the GPS dilution of precision (DOP or HDOP)
values
- List the currently available GPS satellites - and
other functions to control the settings and usage of
the GPS.
The LinksPoint GPS Toolkits were created over the
course of five years of GPS research and development.
They have been used in the creation of numerous
commercial and consumer applications and it continues to
evolve as new protocols are established.
LinksPoint offers our C++ and .NET GPS Toolkits, which include eight hours of engineering support and one seat
license of our DLL, for a one-time fee of $1000.
Additional seat licenses for use with
LinksPoint-provided GPS receivers are included in the
hardware cost. Additional handheld licenses for use with
non-LinksPoint GPS receivers are available for $20 per
seat. For more information contact us at sales@linkspoint.com.
LinksPoint GPS ActiveX Control
LinksPoint's GPS ActiveX Control offers much of the
functionality of our GPS toolkit for use in Rapid
Application Development environments. It works with any
development environment that supports ActiveX technology
to unlock the power of GPS for use in handheld
applications. The ActiveX control also makes it possible
to develop Web applications that use GPS.
The control allows you to:
- Get current latitude and longitude (in radians or
degrees)
- Get current altitude and ground speed
- Enable or Disable communications with the GPS
receiver
- Get the GPS baud rate and communications port
using patented technology
- Get the GPS dilution of precision (DOP or HDOP)
values
- List the currently available GPS satellites
