Now it seems to be working just as good as my BT GPS puck

What version on Garmin are you using? And, are you using GPS Intermediate drivers or COM4?

If I open GPS Viewer and then open Garmin and select COM4, Garmin works great and finds the hardware. If I only open Garmin and try to select COM4, it can't find the hardware then switches to GPS Int. drivers. I never had a problem with not using COM4 in the past. I recently updated Garmin to the most recent version so that could have made a difference. -I don't care whether I use COM4 or GPS Int. drivers, it is working. Even after being off all night long. (Now the question is "For how long...?")
