Hey Kilmarac, you have to get the GPS viewer up and locked with sats before starting nav4all for it to work. It will go to blue bars on the view page and I usually waste time switching back and forth between the view and the data page which seems to graphically display the lock a bit faster.

It takes my Verizon 6800 no more than 30 seconds to lock on with full view of the sky both here in TN and when on vacation in CA. Indoors is a crapshoot. I'm fine upstairs to lock in under a minute but on my livingroom couch it sometimes won't lock...

Also don't d/l N4A from the Esmertec java app (like in Opera Mini) as it will install but wont work, you need to d/l the CAB and install. I think it gives you 2 options (autoinstall or d/l the CAB, just d/l the CAB).

Once locked, I start N4A and its good to go. Unsure why yours won't work. I know one of the experts modified the cab for GPS viewer so it will start on com4 but I can't find the link so here's the link to the original http://www.hevis.com.hk/download/GpsViewer1.5.zip.
