Actually, your problem seems to be very common. Over at the Mapopolis forums, tons of Axim users are reporting this with various CF GPS units. It appears that ALL CF GPS units are doing this in the Axim. I get it with the Pharos 180 and newer 360 CF GPS.

Basically, once the port has been opened and then closed, it can't do it again. It does not matter if WM5 manages the GPS with a virtual port or not -- the same thing happens.

To get around it, as you've seen, you can quickly slide the CF GPS up and then back into place -- it will then work again (so that you can avoid the soft reset). This is what Mapopolis users are currently doing -- this is what I'm doing.

Mapopolis believes this to be a problem with the Axims. They aren't getting it with any other units -- only Axims with CF GPS.

Note that it appears to happen with other apps too -- so it isn't a Mapopolis problem.

Again, you are not alone -- lots (all) of the Axim users discussing it at Mapopolis's site are seeing this. :(
