Use GPS with Windows Mobile Phone

Question

My question might sound really stupid but,

I would like to get longitude & latitude using only GPS on a Windows Mobile Phone 7(OFFLINE - WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A WIFI CONNECTION).

Is that possible or GPS is always assisted by a webservice in Windows Mobile phones?

If you set Accuracy to High - you will have location from a GPS sensor

In the normal case you don't need to worry about how location is achieved, Location Service on WP7 is doing all hard work for you.

Without the need for a WiFi Connection or any other kind of online communication? – glarkou Mar 06 '12 at 15:49

Yes. If `WiFi` or `Cellular` is not available - you can get your location anyway, maybe it takes longer if `GPS` is in cold start condition – Ku6opr Mar 06 '12 at 15:52

Exactly. GPS device doesn't need an internet connection. When ur phone hasn't this device, u'll need an internet to use web location services.
