I think you may need to do some reg editing. Check your settings screens and
see if you have a control panel item called GPS. It looks like a little ball
with lat and long lines on it. If you have it great, if not don't feel bad.
It seems many OEMs disabled it. What follows is a clip from somewhere to get
it back, though you will need a reg editor. It notes JasJar but I have done
this on that, my PDA-N and my K-Jam.
____________
WM5 built in GPS control panel
For some reason this is not active in the settings of the JASJAR. To make it
visible do the following:
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Delete the DWORD marked "hide" or keep the Hide key but change the value to
0
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)
There is also a 'redirect' entry in that registry location.. remove that one
The step "Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec) " is
what puts it in the Connections tab. If you omit that setting then it will
just go into the System tab.
______________
What you wind up with is a control panel item that can define where your GPS
hardware is, comm 6 or 7, and redirect it to what comm port you want your
software to look at. In some instnaces it will even let you hook multiple
programs to that one virtual comm port.
