    Hi there,

    I develop a lot of GPS apps in WM5 now. You best bet is to use the Microsoft.Windo wsMobile.Sample s.Location sample project included in the Windows Mobile 6 SDK (download it from Microsoft Website) don't worry, if you include it in your WM5 project it will work fine! This uses the intermediate GPS driver, so once you have it working you can just go

    String Long = this.gps.Longit ude;

    Regarding the GPS emulator Fake GPS is the best, and this too is included in the WM6 SDK I think, which is just an application that simulates NEMA data on the emulator, or any device without a signal.

    Try here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en for the SDK

    and here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158722.aspx for the info on Fake GPS
