Let's take a step back. What exactly have you done? Does the GPS even work with your PC? Does it work with any Garmin programs? Can you see the output in other programs*?
In addition to those questions,
look here review the required information listed in the second message and post it in this thread.
To hook up a GPS, the general procedure is to set it to the proper output**, and then choose the appropriate port in NetStumbler under the View > Options > GPS (tab.) Depending on your PC, OS, and installed software, you may have to create a virtual COM port.
Understand that not all GPS units conform to the NMEA standard. Some GPS models, including some Garmin units, are proprietary and as such will not work with NS or other programs.
*Other programs might be mapping applications or merely a terminal window that shows the output.
**Required GPS output for use with NetStumbler:
NMEA 0183 v2.1 or higher
WGS84
