[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\MyPoll]
  InterfaceType = "Poll"
  CommPort = "GPP0:"
  Version = DWORD:2

Hardware/COM Port Input Source

The following registry settings define the minimal configuration information to make GPS hardware accessible by using COM4. Undefined settings use default values, which are documented in GPS Intermediate Driver Registry Settings.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver
