This document discusses how to create GPS enabled apps on Windows 7 phones. It explains that GPS location can be accessed using the GeoCoordinateWatcher class and Bing map control. Developers must request permission to access the phone's location and can set accuracy and movement threshold settings. The PositionChanged event can be used to find the current location and display it on a map. Maps require a registration key and allow adding pins, zooming, and changing road/aerial modes. Resources for learning more are provided.
