Remarks

The SerialPortGpsConnection allows communication with a GPS receiver using the NMEA standard. The SerialPortGpsConnection class is usually obtained from the component itself inside the IDE toolbox. To receive GPS information set the SerialPort communication properties (Com, Parity, BaudRate) and subsequently call the Open method. You will receive positional information through the NMEASentenceEventArgs class. This class is a product of the GpsChanged event, which is raised when the GPS positional information changes. The SerialPortGpsConnection uses a lower priority worker type thread to interact with the SerialPort, and the event (GpsChanged) is initially raised on this worker thread.
