I'm looking to access the GPS location on the M6 pro on my windows 11 PC. I've searched around but haven't found how to access the GPS data over the USB Cable. Can someone point me in the right direction. thanks.

    Hi hsdataguy ,

     

    Once the GPS feature is enabled on the touchscreen via Settings>More>GPS, the data is streamed via port 5502.

     

    Regards,

    To access the GPS location from your M6 Pro on a Windows 11 PC via USB, you’ll need to ensure the device is set to a mode that shares its GPS data over USB, such as NMEA output or a USB COM port. Once connected, check Device Manager for a new COM port and use GPS software like VisualGPS or similar to read the data. Make sure location permissions are enabled on the device and that any required drivers are installed. If no COM port appears, the device may only share GPS over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi instead of USB.
