I have a CF GPS card that worked great on my old iPaq but now, under WM5, I can get the card to recognize (with or without the GPS control panel managment turned on) but it won't stay communicating with the card for more than 5 seconds or so. I read somewhere com7 was a good one to use with GPS programs (valid? don't know) with the software redirected to com7 and the hardware on the cf port com4, I can get it to recognize the card but it only keeps the communications with the card for about 5 seconds and then the card has to be pulled and reinserted. If I turn off the control panel GPS software/hardware redirect thing, the software will still recognize the card on com4 (although I think TomTom may have been a problem) but it drops communication still after just a few seconds. The problem occurs in: TomTom MobileNavigator5 iGuidance
HOWEVER: the Holux card comes with a program called GPS Viewer which is simply a diagnostics type program that talks to the GPS and does a raw data dump from it. It also has a tab that shows the satelites it's connected to - not my area of expertise so forgive my gps lingo. This program doesn't stop communicating like the others (at least not for the 5 mins I've left it to do it's thing.) I don't know if this is at all useful but I don't think it would be a problem communicating with any comX port based gps unit (blue tooth port etc.) and it has an auto port scan feature. Maybe some of you would find it useful to test your bluetoothy gps's. It's available for download here:

and if that page doesn't work it's called GPS Viewer ver 1.5 and it's here in the download section:
