Enables or disables communication with the GPS device

If the GPS library is successfully enabled, then the return value will be GPSERROR_NONE. Otherwise the return value will be GPSERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.

When enabled, the GPS library will open the communications port set by the GpsInitialize or GpsSetPort functions. When disabled, the communications ports will be closed. When enabled, the GPS library will start a new thread that constantly monitors the GPS device. When disabled, this thread will be shut down. Since the Palm OS cannot handle threads, communications with the GPS device is not handled in the background like it is under Windows. Instead, you must continuously call the GpsCheckForData function to check you incoming GPS data.
