GMM and LiveSearch get a good fix, but every other app I've tried just get random lat and long values every second - and they seem completely random and all over the globe every second.

With GPSGate, I did like you said and used WM GPS for the input and for output I've tried various things - I assume the com port/NMEA is the correct one. My TomTom will get a satellite lock if I use the com port/NMEA I set up (com 8 ) or it will get a lock on com4. But it behaves the same either way - just random lat/long values.
But GPSGate won't go green until I fire up GMM. If I just fire up GPSGate, it won't get a fix from com4 without starting some other functional GPS app (GMM or LiveSearch).
A couple of things and please pardon if they seem trivial:

1) Phone network service is set to Location On right?
2) How did you install Valhalla? Cab or zip?

I have found that if a copy of gpsapi.dll is dropped into the directory of your fave nav app then it will work too. Again I am working through the fine details but it works well for me.
