I have changed the settings from Internal GPS to Other GPS, Com 4, 4800 Baud

I guess the question is what is done to the ROM that doesnt require you prime it?

Thanks

There is a GPSID driver that requires some programs to be "primed". If the software you are using doesn't support GPSID, you need a primer. I know that in No2Chems latest roms the GPSID driver has been removed allowing just about any GPS software to work.
