Worried Axim X50v, Destinator 6 and Globalsat BC337

Hi there, I have an Axim x50 running Windows Mobile 5. I've been successfully using Destinator 6 with a Dell-branded bluetooth GPS unit but have changed to the Globalsat BC337. I started setting it up yesterday but while I've been able to get the BC337 to display satellite info with the included GPSInfo program for WM5, I'm not quite sure how to get it working with Destinator 6.

The GPSInfo programme seems to be using Com port 4. When I go into the Windows Mobile 5 'GPS' data management programme I've set the hardware port to this one. I've tried various others for the 'GPS programme port' and then used each port setting in Destinator 6 as the source for the info but I'm getting a message in Destinator 6 saying 'GPS Antenna not found.' When I do a scan of the ports it can't find it either.

To summarise, Globalsat's GPSInfo programme can see the BC337 and get readings, but I'm not sure how to get Navigator 6 to work with it. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Shane
