Subject : GPS port on MC67 doesn’t open
 
We’re not able to open the GPS port on the MC67 ( using Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Professional)
Hereby code of a program in C# that works on MC65 but not on MC67:
 
SerialPort GpsSerialPort = new SerialPort();
GpsSerialPort.PortName = "COM8:";
GpsSerialPort.BaudRate = 4800;
GpsSerialPort.DataBits = 8;
GpsSerialPort.StopBits = StopBits.One;
GpsSerialPort.Handshake = Handshake.None;
GpsSerialPort.ReceivedBytesThreshold = 1;

GpsSerialPort.Open();

textBox_GPS_result.txt = GpsSerialPort.ReadExisting();

GpsSerialPort.Close();

 
In the settings of the MC67, we have the following  settings :

1. Tap > Settings > System > External GPS.
2. In the Programs tab, the GPS program port is set to COM8.
3.In the Hardware tab, the GPS hardware port is set to None

 
Does anyone had the same experience ? Is there a solution ?

I have the same issue in Guatemala and have an open case. One thing I did find out was you needed to have SUPL enabled, and if you have a connection via WIFI with internet access it works and also if you use a cellular SIM in the MC67 and has internet access it also works.
