Destinator PN + WM5 = NOT FINDING BT GPS
I recently upgraded my Axim x50v to WM5, and I had been using Destinator 3 on 2003SE, but I couldn't get it to work on WM5, maybe it was too old of a copy, so i decided to get Destinator PN, which installed fine, and seems to work fine, but I can't get D-PN to pickup my i.Trek Bluetooth GPS, I connected it via BT, and made a new outgoing port on Com 8 (had options for 7 or 8), but in D-PN I have only go the options of 1,2,3,4,5 (i think) but no 7 or 8.
Is there something i can do to make it display all the ports? or to map the GPS to one of the ports it does display?
On a simular note, does anyone know how to change the stupid MS Bluetooth back to the original BT stack that was used in 2003SE?

I'm using a Pharos BT GPS reciever (with X51v model). I also can only choose COM7 or COM8 as an outgoing port (I use COM8). Destinator PN though does find my GPS reciever on COM8. Don't know why your copy of Destinator wouldn't find it on one of those ports.
In response to the 2nd post: Can you tell me what this file does? The readme in there is not english.

So how did you end up getting it to work?
I have exactly the same problem - it is set up for COM7, but Destinator PN can only see com1-5 :(
