GPSInfo (function)

GPSInfo(sOptions) : string

This function was mainly introduced for macro authors that are supporting the Colorado/Oregon models, but can also be used to determine the drive letter for Magellan eXplorist models. It will enable you to detect where the GPSr unit is connected and retrieve the Model description and software version. It has been optimized for speed and only interrogates removable drives. This function also includes special code so that it does not recognize or throw a Windows error for "ghost" drives (empty usb card reader drives for example) If this function does not find this file, or can not retrieve the required information, it will return an empty string.
