Surface GPS Multiplexer Windows Driver
The Surface GPS Multiplexer is a device or software component that enables the communication between a GPS receiver and a Windows computer. It is typically used in systems where GPS data is fed from a GPS receiver (either internal or external) to the computer, often in multi-channel or multi-device scenarios. This type of multiplexer can combine multiple GPS data streams or manage GPS communication between the receiver and various applications that need GPS data simultaneously.
The term GPS Multiplexer refers to a software or hardware component that allows multiple applications to access a single GPS device at the same time. Without it, only one application could access the GPS data at once. The Surface part of the name may refer to a specific GPS hardware or software module (perhaps a branded product or a specialized multiplexer for Surface devices like the Microsoft Surface tablet).
In short, the Surface GPS Multiplexer driver is necessary to manage communication between the GPS hardware (e.g., GPS receiver) and the software that uses the GPS data, allowing the data to be shared across multiple applications.
