Re: GPS newbie - need lots of help

You will use NMEA and the same com port that gpsinfo used. You must exit GPSinfo for this to work. If you can't select the same com port then it will not work. Contact NG and find out why they don't offer the same com port.

My iPAQ is a rx3715.  In the topo application it does not list my
device... it only lists; Lowrance, Garmin, Magellan and NMEA.  That's
the other thing, I can't test my GPS unit from the PC topo application,
it only gives me options for com1 and com2, and my pda cradle connects
via USB.
