Dear all,

We have two applications need GPS information.
And these two applications use open COM port to read GPS data.
How to share GPS data to these two applications?

PS: Our OS is WinCE5.0

Write a driver that will have the exclusive access to the GPS COM port
and be a proxy for the applications. The best way to do it is to write
it as if two virtual serial ports are created. The applications will
open your device by opening new serial port and read from it.

I did something similar in the past. You best bet is to get a source
of the serial driver and rewrite the lower part of it to access the
physical serial port that talks to GPS.
