Calling this method will initiate the acquisition of data from the current location provider. Currently only a GPS location provider is supported on .NET Compact Framework platforms. If the current prioritized location provider does not have data when the Start method is called, it will start to acquire data. Once data is available, data can be accessed synchronously, and will be delivered asynchronously if events are being handled.

If the GPS Intermediate Driver is not present, Start()()()() will immediately return, PositionChanged events will not be raised, and the location returned by the InTheHand.Device.Location property of Position will contain Unknown.
