GPSID and GPS hardware MethMath 01-30-2008

Hi, I use GPSID SDK to extract GPS coordinates into my own applications on
WM6 devices from integrated GPS hardware and it works fine. I set the
"External GPS Settings" in Settings to reassign a COM port for other 3:rd
party GPS applications to use simultanously, applications that do not use
GPSID but read the COM-port directly (for example GPS navigation and mapping
software).

However, when starting such a 3:rd party software without previously having
activated GPSID by starting my own applications, such software cannot read
from the redirected COM port. Example: setting GPSID to read from GPS
hardware on COM4 and provide a redirected COM5 for external applications
works fine as long as I run my own applications that use GPSID. But starting
the external GPS software alone will not work when targeting COM5 - it must
read from COM4 and I have to change its settings accordingly.

How can I make sure that any GPS software at any time can read from the
GPSID-redirected COM port, COM5 in example above ?
