What is GPS Premium?
GPS Premium supports GPS outdoors (as does GPS Basic) and additionally indoors
(where no GPS satellites are available).
To use GPS Premium, you need a GPS subscription.
What is the difference between GPS Basic and GPS
Premium?
GPS Basic is for outdoor use — similar to the capability of a regular GPS device.
GPS Premium is an enhanced GPS capability that allows GPS to be used indoors
and outdoors. To use GPS Premium, you need a GPS subscription.
What is a GPS application?
A GPS application is an application that uses NMEA data to get regular location
coordinate updates and values typically displayed in an application. (For more
information on NMEA, see “What is NMEA?” [below].)
Examples of GPS applications are Microsoft Streets & Trips, and Microsoft
MapPoint.
Note:
At the time of this software release, this GPS mode option is not yet available.
