You could write a virtual comport driver that get's it's information from
the Intermediate GPS driver. The co-Pilot 7 application can read the GPS
data from that comport. It will probably be described what Nmea sentences
the application expects from the Gps for it's normal operation. It might
help to answer if you could describe your setup a bit more in detail.

I don't think this is the proper place to change the DriverInterface key
from GPDx to COM4. The active registry keys are created by the OS to give
you an idea of what drivers are active, and to show you how you can
interface them. You should find another registry key with that driver. If
you change the DriverInterface there, you will need to cold boot the
device
so that it reloads it's drivers. You can check the active key to see if
your
changes reflected to the driver.

Hi All,
I am working on WM6 for some GPS Application that uses the GPS
Intermediate driver's virtual port i.e exposed as GPD9 in the
"DriverInterface" key in the registry settings.
And there is this Co-Pilot7 app from ALK that uses the physical port
directly as I don't see any options like GPDx/GPSy.
As far as I understand from whatever reading I have done from MSDN and
all other blogs,If at all any application wants to use the COM port
directly fr the GPS then no other app can use the same COM port.
And I checked with Co-Pilot guy and he said that Co-Pilot 7 does not
support the Microsoft GPS Intermediate Driver.So I need to bypass the
GPS Intermediate Driver and talk to the COM port directly.
I heard that changing the "DriverInterface" key to COMx port should
let the GPS App to use this port for the GPS data.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
::::::::
"I have changed the "DriverInterface" key to say COM4 and made the
changes in this key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver
\Multiplexer\ActiveDevice]
to COM4 as well. And then tried to configure the GPS at COM4 using the
Co-Pilot App but it didn't configure."
Has anyone ever came across this issue?
I will appreciate any pointers for this issue.

Thanks for the reply.But as you know I am using the co-pilot 7 to use
the GPS for getting the data and it will use the COM port for that coz
it does not have any option like GPD.
And Co-Pilot does not support the MIcrosoft GPS Intermediate Driver.
I tried changing the driverinterface key and GPSID key but it didn't
work.I wonder if we need to change the source code for co-pilot to use
the GPS.
Raj
