I have written a method that obtains the GPS location of my WM5 device, this
method is to be run on the background, what is the best way to go about
this.... I guess in a windows world I would make this a service, but as far
as I know there is no such equivalent on the CF 2. I know the other option is
to use threads but I am trying to get away without using threads... any
advice ideas or pointers to tutorials on threads on the CF2. =)
Thanks in advance.

And why are you avoiding threads?

Sure there is: a program with no user interface. As Chris said, though, if
you are only consuming the GPS in this one application, there's no good
reason to build a whole other EXE just to do the GPS and then have to figure
out how to ship the data to your UI application; use threads.
