Getting GPS coordinates from Samsung Intrepid

I'm looking into purchasing the new Samsung Intrepid Windows Mobile 6.5 device. Before I plunk down the cash, I'm investigating the available APIs and support resources. I have one question I wa开发者_开发知识库nt answered. It's one question but it's a big one for me. Can I access the GPS coordinates of the device? Does this phone have a location API? I've been searching for code samples (C# or VB.NET) and found nothing. Not even a mention of this capability from a technical / developer perspective. Plenty of sales stuff that mention the phone has GPS but I need more info. I find that difficult to believe to so I'm willing to accept I must be missing something.

The device should expose itself through the GPSID driver (almost all devices from 6.1 on do). You would then be able to use that API for reading location info.

Yes, you can. I don't know the Samsung but WinMob has a special GPS API. There are samples in C# and (I think) C++ in the SDK folders. You can download the SDK (6.1) and install in VS2008 before you buy.
And all devices I know of let you access the GPS over a COM port as well.

PS: don't forget to look around on MS/download for FakeGPS. A separate install that lets you play recorded GPS in the emulator.
