In general, most developers just access GPS such as the Geode through general serial COM port interface functions since the Geode uses a Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile), native RS-232, or virtual USB UART connection. There are technical methods to get it to replace the integrated location services if interested. This would be somewhat similar to as described at the first web page link above and at the following web pages, but again this is most often more than what most developers need or would want to put effort into.
