Hi Renuka,

The sample application attempts to get a position fix using all
available sources of position information. In the case of WinCE, this
means a network server (using IP and cell ID information where
available) and a GPS if present.

The WinCE emulator does not have a radio stack, so no cell ID is
available to Gears and the only data sent to the network server is IP
address. This should be the host machine's IP address, so if the
sample application works on your desktop machine, it should also work
on a WinCE emulator on that machine. Are you running the emulator on
the desktop machine on which you've reported success with the sample
app?

Regarding GPS, obviously the emulator does not have a GPS, but the
WinCE API presented to Gears is such that Gears can't detect this, and
will try to use the GPS. Obviously no position will be found and Gears
will eventually give up and report an error message after
approximately 5 minutes. The sample app should not hang indefinitely.

Hope this helps.

Steve
