MSDN Webcast: 24 Hours of Windows Mobile Application Development: Windows Mobile Location Awareness Live from Tech·Ed EMEA (Level 300)  

More and more Windows Mobile powered devices ship with integrated global positioning system (GPS) hardware. Since people typically use Windows Mobile devices on the road, it makes a lot of sense to add location awareness to your applications. In this Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) webcast, we show how you can make proper use of the GPS Intermediate Driver to access GPS information from inside managed applications. We also discuss how to use the FakeGPS utility to test location-enabled applications without needing access to physical GPS hardware.
