Are you getting an error or just "seeking" and not finding satellites?

GPSDash wouldn't run for me. It would give me an hourglass for about 2 min, then error out with a ".net" error. Probably because I don't have 3.5 installed.

I've been playing with GPSTuner a little bit and it definitely does what I am loking for. But not sure if I want to pay all that $$ for it. :cheapskate: LOL
Thanks SoflaDavid. I have tried Google maps both with the manage windows setting and com 8 and 57600. Ive only gotten it to work once at my house. The last couple of days I get nothing even outside. It just keeps searching for the sateliites, until after mayb 10 minutes or so a screen pops up saying that there is a weak gps signal. I am going to give GPSTuner a try and see how that goes. Did you do the registry hack that makes your External GPS icon appear? If so, what do you have those settings set to?
