Hello,
is there a solution on how to get the location (Latitude / Longitude etc ) on a Windows tablet.

We need the GPS location (not that of the IP). Is the Windows Location API suitable for this? Does anyone already have a solution or hint for this?

Thank you very much

Yes, any "Surface" tablet with an Intel processor. ;-)

Hi Herbert;

Basically, I think that you have few options ...

1) Windows API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/locationapi/windows-location-api-portal
2) Web Browser: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation_API/Using_the_Geolocation_API
3) Interface to a 3rd party: https://www.handheldgroup.com/knowledge-base/using-windows-location-api-for-gps/

HTH

Regards ... Chris
