Question : Getting GPS Latitude and Longitude on Smartphone with vb.net

I've create a simple program that runs on the Windows Mobile 5/6 smartphone using vb.net and it runs great. What I'm having trouble sorting out is how to get simple GPS location data using just the smartphone. Everything that I've seen demonstrates getting GPS data by cradling the smartphone and connecting to a GPS device.

Can GPS data be retrieved using just the smartphone and Windows Mobile? If so can you point me in the right direction?

Answer : Getting GPS Latitude and Longitude on Smartphone with vb.net

you would need to use cell ID for that, but it's by far not trivial.

Have a look at SkyHook : http://www.skyhookwireless.com/developers/sdk.php
or Navizon: http://www.navizon.com/

All this said, if you have GPS device embedded into Smartphone then simply use GPS sample that comes with SDK
