This is a simple ASP.NET ConsoleApp, which displays the status of computer's location. The location information may come from multiple providers, such as GPS, Wi-Fi triangulation and cell phone tower triangulation. It uses the System.Device.Location library (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.device.location).
The alternative is to use the DotSpatial.Positioning library, which allows to conntect to any external Bluetooth or Serial GPS-Device (see https://www.nuget.org/packages/DotSpatial.Positioning/ and https://github.com/DotSpatial/DotSpatial).

- Installation of Visual Studio 2017
- Download the GpsStatusCheck Solution
- Open the solution file in Visual Studio
- Compile the application
- Run the Watch.bat or Watch-HighPrecision.bat Batch to start the application.
Start the application using provided Batch:
- Watch.bat - using default accuracy level for the location data
- Watch-HighPrecision.bat - location delivers the most accurate data possible (may consume higher levels of battery power or connection bandwidth)
After the application has started, the status and position from the Location-Device are displayed in the console. The movement threshold distance was set to 0.5m - that's the distance that must be moved, relative to the coordinate from the last position, before another position is obtained.
