   GPS API for windows
  Does anyone know of a GPS API for Windows (in C++) that will work with any reciever?Thanks in advance.   
  I don't know any off hand, but implementing one is easy and shouldn't take you very long. It is as simple as opening a connection to the device (usually a serial port) and parsing some strings (NMEA 0183). Even though the NMEA standard isn't free there are plenty of sites out there that have GPS string definitions and a break down of them. Here is a blog post with an example in c#http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive/2006/10/31/912287.aspx   ;  Cool, thanks for the link. I'll do some reading :)
