I got it to work this way:

In Google Maps select the Options menu, then GPS Setting. Change the options to "Set Manually" and then use the first drop down menu to select COM4.

The port that you select should match the COM port that shows in the settings for "External GPS" in the "System" tab in the settings panel.

Now back to the menu, select "Use GPS" and it works for me.

Hmmm, I have mine set to Managed by Windows and it works fine for me.

Boo Boo, on your TP, did you open up Opera and go to http://m.google.com and install MAPS from there? You should be able to download and install the cab file that way. Then, it should work.

At first, it defaults to San Francisco and then you use GPS from the pop-up menu and voila!

HTH,
