Paulchen · 08-29-2003

hi!

i'm using Comfoolery & DeviceComm Manager to share the GPS -Signal from COM5 to COM1, COM2 and COM6...works fine to have GPS in Netstumbler (using COM1), in navigations-software (using COM2) ...but not in Stumbleverter (using COM6).

The same prob occurrs when using MS MapPoint 2002...which seems to be the REAL problem....

I get a runtime error approx. 1 second after program start after first GPS sequences are received by the apps.

The problem ONLY occurrs, when using the virtual COM-Ports...if i do not share the COM-Port from the GPS and directly assign it to MapPoint or Stumbleverter it works perfekt.

Any hints, HOW to get workaround and get it work with shared virtual COM-ports ?
