[Qgis-user] QGIS on Windows 8 with GPS

[Markus Honegger]

Hi all,

I'd like to use QGIS on a Windows 8 tablet pc which has a GPS inside. 
Unfortunately, this sensors does not send a NMEA protocoll over a 
virtual COM port. Instead, it uses the Windows "Location API" (see: 
http://ker.li/locationapi ).
Does anybody have any experiences in using such a GPS sensor with QGIS? 
How can the Location API be converted into a QGIS-known-GPS-device?

Many thanks and kind regards,
  Markus
