You need to run a program called GPS Viewer before you're set to use it. Set the program to open Com 4. I think it's in the GPS FAQ somewhere.

Change Com Port to COM4, then click Open GPS. Then open or go back to TomTom and into Preferences, Show GPS status, Select other NMEA GPS receiver, it should find it.

or I use gpslauncher.exe it's native built and closes itself right after launching tomtom.
