ARGH! ok, I got it working. It took a lot of messing with it. Some kind of odd problem between iGuidance and the GPS port connector tool in WM5.

Under Settings->gps, it won't let you set the program port and the hardware port to the same thing... oddly though, they were both set for com8.

-I set it for com7 program port, com8 hardware port, went into iGuidance and set it to talk to com7. Still didn't work.

-I went back into the gps tool and it now had the settings: com7 program port and com7 hardware port. Clearly wrong. Fiddled with this for a while. It looks like iGuidance is causing a change in the hardware port. It really shouldn't be modifying that stuff at all, but rather just trying to talk to whatever port I give it.

-Playing with it some more, I set the port for com9 program, com8 hardware. I went into iGuidance and set the port for com9, still didn't work. Reset it for com8. It worked!!! I don't know what finally caused it to hiccup and work, but it is working for now.
