GPS Intermediate Driver Poll Registry Settings (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

The GPS Intermediate Driver will use the settings in this topic when the InterfaceType registry entry is "Poll".

Like the InterfaceType registry entry, these entries exist in a key named for the specific input source, beneath the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers key. For example, an input source that uses GPS hardware directly might have registry settings at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\AcmeDirectGPSHardware key.

Note

On some target devices, the root GPS Intermediate Driver registry key, and all subkeys, are protected. On these devices, untrusted applications can read but cannot write GPS Intermediate Driver settings.

The following table shows the registry entries that specify direct GPS hardware connection information.
