Creating Location-Aware Applications for Windows Mobile 6.5 Devices

Illustration

I gave presentation at Mobility Day 2009. Since I was traveling from Berlin this morning (started at 5:00) I was quite tired, but presentation went mostly fine.

As promised, here is code download:

There are few prerequisites:

  1. Your emulator needs to have Internet connection.
  2. You need to have GPS support in Windows Mobile emulator. FakeGPS will do.
  3. Do not forget to put your Bing Maps user ID and password in Program.cs. If you do not have developer account, you will need to request it.

P.S. As a bonus, download also contains desktop application that speaks with Bing Maps. It is much faster to test various setting this way.

P.P.S. NMEA stands for National Marine Electronics Association and not, as I said, “Nautical something”. :)
