Just received my new BT338 a few minutes ago. Thought it might be somewhat automatic, but obviously, it's not exactly that, so maybe somebody can give me some pointers. Here's a couple of questions :

GPSinfo Program: I've set it to COM7 for starters, and 38400 Baud per the Glaobalsat instructions.

Should I totally ignore WM5's GPS utility? For kicks, I set the Program to use COM9, and then set Hardware to use COM7, but there's no 38400 Baud in the drop-down, only 33600-57600-115200 and below. And on the 3rd tab... should we check the automatic GPS management?

In Settings, I enabled both check boxes in Bluetooth Settings, in the Devices window I see New Partnership... and under it, BT-GPS-31C82 which I assume is the GPS. The partnership also checked "Serial Port" in the setup of that partnership... is that correct? In the COM port window, I see Incoming Port (COM7) and under it... New Outgoing Port.

FTR, I have both Mapopolis and TT5 (and the 5.21 Patch) installed on my CF, and I can try either program with regard to checking it out, but I would think something would show up in the GPSinfo utility with regard to satellites.

I don't think I've paired up 100%, but since so many guys are using some version of this GPS, I figure if I'm doing something wrong you will correct me. D:

Hey, thanks in advance for the help! :approve:

Don't Laugh... I stumbled across settings that fired up TT5. But I'd still like to hear your thoughts. Now I have to figure out how to edit my home position which is grey'ed out. It's always something - Roseanna-Danna
