Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with the new Windows 8 Panasonic Toughpad? Does the GPS communicate via a COM port and therefore, allow for communication with ArcGIS for Windows Mobile? Thanks, Tim

Bill - you need to purchase the Mobile Broadband option with voice/data plan from wireless provider. Denise Yea that's what I have on order, but I had never heard of the "Sierra Wireless" version and wondered if it was different than the one I had coming. Gave up on the Dell, hopefully this one will work out. I'm in the process of giving up with Dell too - Just trying to negotiate the restocking fee down! Denise62 and young_mossy; are either of you ordering or ordered from Lenovo from the UK? When completing the online checkout process directly with Lenovo I have the option to select a 3G version of the tablet (See attached screen grab) but there is no mention of Sierra Wireless - Just an 'Integrated Mobile Broadband (Ericsson C5621)' - Will this version have a GPS built-in and, crucially, will it communicate with the OS and software installed via COM port? Many thanks, Tim [ATTACH=CONFIG]22431[/ATTACH])

Just to let people know I've this morning tried the Dell Latitude 10 tablet with the latest version of ArcGIS for Windows Mobile (10.1.1) and I have still had no luck. This latest version of the software from ESRI still requires a COM port for communication with the GPS. Tim

Hi, Its great to see others are having the same issues with their Dell Latitude tablets and that its not just me. I don't have any further updates to the situation other than that I've had similar responses from Dell and ESRI to others on here. Any updates from you Denise on the time frame we can expect to get a working copy of ArcGIS for Windows Mobile with Windows 8 and these new GPS chips would be great. Many thanks, Tim

Hi, A client has recently purchased a new Windows 8 Dell Latitude 10 tablet to use ArcGIS for Windows Mobile on. Now I know that strictly speaking the official line is that ArcGIS for Windows Mobile is not supported on Windows 8 at present. However, we have it up and running on another client's tablet also running Windows 8. The difference between these two devices is the GPS configuration:- The device we have it working on is using an external GPS plugged in via USB which is being connected to by ArcGIS for Windows Mobile using a virtual COM port. The new tablet from Dell has a built in Broadcom GNSS location sensor with GPS capabilities. However, it is configured to work with the OS via the Windows sensor/location (Not sure which one) API and as such, is not visible to the ArcGIS for Windows Mobile application which requires a COM port to connect to a GPS. I guess I have two questions:- Has anyone mangaged to get ArcGIS for Windows Mobile to connect to a GPS using the Windows sensor/location API? If not, then does anyone know how to create a virtual COM port which relays the data from the built-in Broadcom GNSS location sensor via the Windows sensor/location API? I really appreciate any time that people are able to put towards helping me out! I'm a little but stuck! Thanks, Tim
