GPS Logging

Question

How can I log NMEA messages coming from a NmeaLocationDataSource?

public event EventHandler<Location>? LocationChanged; <--- this gives a location object, but not the raw messages  that lead to that point. What are the chances of getting those in an event? Or some other way?

Regards,

I know this is a very old thread, but I was just looking for this and found that there is an event now as of the Maps SDK 200.7. So, for anyone else landing here in the future:

Thanks a lot, your insight has been very helpful. Since it's all on windows (.NET 6) I will be going with System.IO.Ports.SerialPort and that StreamInterceptor.  All of my tests worked with your suggestions!

If you're using .NET 6, you don't actually need to use the bluetooth version, but can still use them as a serial port (Windows will assign them port numbers). But otherwise, you'd have to grab the bluetooth data stream yourself before using the above.
