I don't know if this is a symptom of this particular GPS fix, or simply a latent bug with VZW's firmware, but it appears that if an application "asks" Windows Mobile what the comm port for the GPS hardware is, Window Mobile reports back com0 instead of the correct com4.

Now, other apps like Google Maps and Windows Live have a way to set the comm port manually, and with those apps, you have to indeed manually set it to com4.

However, amAze GPS doesn't have a way to manually set it to com4. So, it attempts to use com0, and of course, you get the "communication error" when amAze GPS can't find your GPS hardware on com0.
