Setting Up GPS on Your CN3
If your CN3 comes equipped with an integrated Global Positioning System
(GPS) receiver, it can deliver standards-based National Marine Electronics
Association (NMEA) data strings to GPS applications. However, Intermec
recommends that you use the GPS Intermediate Driver (GPSID) instead of
directly accessing the GPS hardware. The GPSID is a Microsoft software
component that interacts between applications and the GPS hardware.
Using the GPSID allows Intermec support for Extended Ephemeris, which
enhances GPS performance by:
• reducing the amount of time it takes your GPS receiver to acquire a fix.
• eliminating the need to obtain precise satellite data information from the
GPS satellites.
And, as a Microsoft software component, the GPSID also provides these
benefits:
• Allows multiple applications to simultaneously access the GPS data
stream.
• Provides access to GPS data without requiring applications to recognize
and parse NMEA syntax.
