Use an external GPS based on USB or Bluetooth. <br>
<br>
My experience (installing and using MapInfo :-/ as the program
receiving GPS data on at least 50 devices) is, that integrated GPS
devices always is outclassed in a very short timeframe by even low
cost external GPS. <br>
<br>
You can buy an USB based GNNS receiver for 60$ that can use both GPS
and GLONASS. When this device either breaks or is outclassed
quality-wise by newer devices, then buy a new 60$ receiver without
buying a new tablet. <br>

Hi,
<div><br>
<div>I'm trying to access the GPS data in QGIS on Windows
tablets/laptops, but it's a known issue that since Windows 8
the GPS data is no longer sent to a COM port but is bundled in
the Windows Location Provider. Now it seems that the only
possibility to get the GPS running with QGIS is to use a
third-party app like Centrafuse or GPSComplete, but is there a
open source solution out there? And is a fix (having QGIS read
the GPS data directly from the location provider in Windows)
planned or in the works?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div><br>
