// 
// This example will use a GPS unit to find the current location,
// and then perform a DataQuery to find the nearest canal to our
// current location...
// 

SerialPort myPort = new SerialPort(); // create the GPS's serial port
myPort.PortName = "COM1"; // configure the serial port
myPort.BaudRate = 9600;

IGps myGps = new NMEAGps(myPort); // create GPS unit
myGps.PowerUp(); // power up the GPS, ready for use

LatLon myLoc = myGps.Position.location; // get the current location

PointFeature mCity = DataQuery.FindNearestPoints(myLoc, "major_cities")[0];
// ^^ get the nearest major city to our current location

...

// if we have a map, we can center it on the city
myMap.Center(mCity.Point);
