Chapter 6 — Using GPS
About the Integrated GPS on Your Computer
Intermec recommends that you use the GPS Intermediate Driver
(GPSID) instead of directly accessing the GPS hardware. The GPSID is
a Microsoft software component that interacts between applications
and the GPS hardware. The GPSID supports Extended Ephemeris,
which enhances GPS performance by:
•reducing the amount of time it takes your GPS receiver to acquire
a fix.
•eliminating the need to obtain precise satellite data information
from the GPS satellites.
As a Microsoft software component, the GPSID also:
•allows multiple applications to simultaneously access the GPS data
stream.
•provides access to GPS data without requiring applications to
recognize and parse NMEA syntax.
Using the GPSID Installed on the Computer
To use the GPSID installed on your mobile computer, you need to
configure the GPSID settings.

Improving GPS Performance on the Computer
Use the iGPS application to improve the performance of the GPS on
your computer. The integrated GPS module has three operating
modes.
Integrated GPS Operating Modes
Operating ModeDescription
StandaloneIn Standalone mode, the GPS module relies solely on GPS
satellites to determine position.
MS AssistedIn MS Assisted mode, the computer can determine
position without receiving GPS signals directly from
satellites; instead, the computer receives GPS signals and
information provided by the cellular network. Even when
the computer can receive a satellite signal, MS Assisted
can improve position accuracy and reduce the time to
determine initial position (Time-To-First-Fix). Check
with your cell phone carrier for availability and pricing for
MS Assisted service.
provides enhanced operation for Standalone GPS. This
option enables the UMTS-enabled computer to
automatically download a small assistance data file from
the XTRA servers through a brief internet access session.
Another option you can configure with iGPS is the fix interval. The fix
interval defines how often the GPS should provide new information.
Larger intervals use less power, but many applications require small
intervals to work correctly. The default for fix interval is 4.
Note: Anytime you change the GPS settings, the phone module
automatically resets. This reset does not affect the functionality of the
computer.
To improve GPS performance using iGPS:
1 Go to Start > Settings > System > iGPS.
2 In the Fix Interval field, enter a value for the fix interval. The
default setting is 4 and should be optimized for most applications.

Developing and Installing Applications
Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop applications to run on the
mobile computer. The Resource Kits are a library of C++, .NET, Java,
and web components grouped by functionality that you can use to
create applications for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl.
For more information, see the Intermec Developer Library Resource Kit
Developer’s Guide.
Packaging Your Application
For very simple applications, the executable file may be the only file
you need to deploy. More typically, you will have a set of files to install.
Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The
computer uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install
third-party .cab files.
Choosing a Target Location
You can have your .cab file place your application in any of these
memory locations on the mobile computer:
•The ObjectStore.
•The optional microSD card. Depending on available disk space,
you may want to consider installing your application files on the
microSD card. Using a card creates the Storage Card folder on the
computer.
•The non-volatile Flash File Store. Applications and data in the
Flash File Store will persist through a clean boot.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the
computer. When AutoRun is installed on the computer, all .cab files in
the CabFiles folder are automatically extracted after a cold boot. For
more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer Library
Resource Kit Developer’s Guide.
