Mobility Site - View Single Post - Anyone get their GPS working through WM5's "managed" configuration?

WM5 has a new feature where it can manage your GPS connections by talking to your GPS hardware on one port than then allowing multiple applications to access the GPS stream through a virtual port. I'm put my bluetooth gps on hardware port com7 and set the application port to be com0. I run Tom Tom 5.1 and it can't sense a GPS on com0. If I set it to com7, it sees it, but of course this defeats the whole purpose of having WM5 managing the GPS connection. Is it something with Tom Tom?

Anyone got this managed feature to work?
