Fake GPS on windows mobile emulator

Install FakeGPS on the emulator PPC (CAB file)
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Tools\GPS

How to install/uninstall apps on emulators?

 One way is to configure a shared drive for the emulator.

 1.  Under the emulator menu options File->Configure

 2.  Map a shared folder under the General tab.

 3.  Place your cab file in the mapped shared folder.

 4.  Use the emulator's file explorer to navigate to the Storage Card  directory.

 5.  Click on your cab file and follow the install procedure.

Launch the application FakeGPS with a simple text file containing a list of GPS NMEA messages, an example is provided : fakegpsdata.txt

Launch the example code from VS2005 : the projet GPSSample
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\PocketPC\CS\GPS
