 Library for handling Bluetooth devices in Windows Store and Windows Phone, in particular devices using NMEA messages.
+
+This library makes it easy to connect and listen for NMEA messages from Bluetooth Devices in Windows Store and Windows Phone apps.
+
+
+Usage - Windows Store
+=====================
+Ensure the bluetooth capability is enabled by opening package.appxmanifest in a text editor, and add the following to the <Capabilities> section:
+```
+    <m2:DeviceCapability Name="bluetooth.rfcomm">
+      <m2:Device Id="any">
+        <m2:Function Type="name:serialPort" />
+      </m2:Device>
+    </m2:DeviceCapability>
+```
+See more here on bluetooth device capabilities in WinStore: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn263090.aspx
+
+```
+//Get list of devices
+string serialDeviceType = RfcommDeviceService.GetDeviceSelector(RfcommServiceId.SerialPort);
+var devices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(serialDeviceType);
+//Select device by name (in this case TruePulse 360B Laser Range Finder)
+var TruePulse360B = devices.Where(t => t.Name.StartsWith("TP360B-")).FirstOrDefault();
+//Get service
+RfcommDeviceService rfcommService = await RfcommDeviceService.FromIdAsync(TruePulse360B.Id);
+if (rfcommService != null)
+{
+	var rangeFinder = new BTDevices.NmeaDevice(rfcommService);
+	rangeFinder.MessageReceived += device_NmeaMessageReceived;
+	await rangeFinder.StartAsync();				
+}
+...
+private void device_NmeaMessageReceived(BTDevices.NmeaDevice sender, BTDevices.Nmea.NmeaMessage args)
+{
+   // called when a message is received
+}
+
+```
+
+
+Usage - Windows Phone
+======================
+Ensure the "ID_CAP_PROXIMITY" capability is enabled in the WMAppManifest.xml file.
+```
+
+// Search for all paired devices
+PeerFinder.AlternateIdentities["Bluetooth:Paired"] = "";
+//Get all devices
+var devices = await PeerFinder.FindAllPeersAsync();
+//Select device by name (in this case TruePulse 360B Laser Range Finder)
+var TruePulse360B = devices.Where(t => t.DisplayName.StartsWith("TP360B-")).FirstOrDefault();
+if (TruePulse360B != null)
+{
+	var device = new BTDevices.NmeaDevice((PeerInformation)TruePulse360B);
+	device.MessageReceived += device_NmeaMessageReceived;
+}
+...
+private void device_NmeaMessageReceived(BTDevices.NmeaDevice sender, BTDevices.Nmea.NmeaMessage args)
+{
+   // called when a message is received
+}
