For developers: GPS ToolKit.NET Mobile released
June 04, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R.
Windows Mobile 5.0 has built-in API functions for GPS/location features, yet here a company is offering GPS library for Windows Mobile! Clearly some people could sell sand to desert inhabitants or ice to Eskimos... but anyway: some developers may find this library useful - particularly if broader GPS device compatibility and additional functionality are of importance.
