At present I know that the combo of Valhalla and GPSGate allows the GPS functionality to be seen by third party nav systems. What I dont know is why and thats what I am looking at now.

Stay tuned.

I get the same results with or without GPSGate. I have TomTom Navigator 6 installed, and I can only get a lock on satellites if I start GMM or LiveSearch first. And then after closing GMM, whatever 3rd party app I'm using will soon lose the lock again. But I use the term "GPS lock" loosely. GMM and LiveSearch get a good fix, but every other app I've tried just get random lat and long values every second - and they seem completely random and all over the globe every second.

With GPSGate, I did like you said and used WM GPS for the input and for output I've tried various things - I assume the com port/NMEA is the correct one. My TomTom will get a satellite lock if I use the com port/NMEA I set up (com 8 ) or it will get a lock on com4. But it behaves the same either way - just random lat/long values.
But GPSGate won't go green until I fire up GMM. If I just fire up GPSGate, it won't get a fix from com4 without starting some other functional GPS app (GMM or LiveSearch).
