Can't connect to satellites in Shell Mode

First post, woo hoo!

In Centrafuse 1.7 RC1 and RC2, Detinator works fine using the Windows shell but can't connect with Centrafuse as shell. I'm guessing something isn't loading that should be but I can't find it? I've got a BU-353 GPS receiver.

I'm also finding RC2 unusable because after a couple of clicks of the volume buttons the volume starts shooting up and down by itself - think other people have mentioned this.

Apart from that, its a stunning piece of software.

I'm looking into both the sat lock and stick button bug...

Some have reported that using software such as GPSGate, I think that is it's name, have fixed their problems...

Yeah, GPSGate has worked for me. You can download it from here: http://franson.com/gpsgate/

Though it does cost money. But they do have a 14-day trial you can use. Once you get it installed, run the GPSgate program to set it up. Once it's done, it will setup virtual COM ports on your computer. I then went into Centrafuse and selected one of those virtual COM ports for the GPS receiver. Now the Nav always works in Centrafuse (at least for the past two days).
