I'm pretty new to the whole GPS thing. I've recently bought the Arkon DM520 GPS receiver/cradle, but my x51 isn't recognizing the GPS signal. The instructions say I should set both software and GPS receiver ports to the same (COM1), but I get a message saying I can't have them both as the same port. Anyone know how to get around this and get the receiver communicating with the PPC???

In the GPS applet, go to the Access tab and uncheck "Manage GPS automatically". Then make sure that Activesync is not running. Start your software and have it start looking for the GPS on COM1 and then put your axim in the cradle. This will prevent Activesync from taking over the port when you put it in the cradle.
