    }
    
    Get Current Device Location Source and Properties
    bool isConnected = DeviceLocationService.Instance.IsDeviceConnected();
    
    var src = DeviceLocationService.Instance.GetSource();
    
    if (src is SerialPortDeviceLocationSource serialPortSrc)
    {
      var port = serialPortSrc.ComPort;
      var antennaHeight = serialPortSrc.AntennaHeight;
      var dataBits = serialPortSrc.DataBits;
      var baudRate = serialPortSrc.BaudRate;
      var parity = serialPortSrc.Parity;
      var stopBits = serialPortSrc.StopBits;
    
      // retrieving spatial reference needs the MCT
      var sr = await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
        return serialPortSrc.GetSpatialReference();
      });
