First, GPS GPS GPS, I'm sure it's been talked about a million times, but after reading through the first 20 pages and searching, I couldn't read anymore for tonite. So, how can I properly get this working.

Here are the settings I've adjusted:
Program GPS Port 4 is open
Loaction is on, not 911 only

In the GPS Viewer the scan is succesful on Port 4, but no luck in any of the the 4 apps, on getting a position. Maybe I'll have more luck later, but so far I've had GMaps track me in North Carolina, same coast, but quite a few states off, LOL!

Second, if I run the UC from the SD, what improvements, if any, are there by installing apps this way?

Thanks!
here's what works for me.

Open GPS viewr ,make sure your outside...
on setup tab
1) start GPS viewer
2) com port: com4 Baud: 9600
3) uncheck power svaer & WAAS/EGNOS
4) cold start

on GPS Status tab wait until you see at least 3 blue bars.
you may see more bars with no color. Once locked you can switch to Google Maps or Live search.
good luck!
