I've used an older one, a HICOM 204E, my new one, the BU-353.. both work. And no, I haven't used a port splitter. I think I'm gonna try one now and see if that's affecting it...

I think I'm getting the same problem as Cheekz185. When I press gps tracking and as soon as the app receives the first coordinates it gives me the "could not communicate with com port#" error, but I can see the first coordinates come in. It does work when I'm using the logging option. And yes xport doesn't work at all.

Hey guys, I've been doing some testing tonight and I'm able to pull data from Xport 3... so I just have to fix a few things and I think (and hope) this will fix some of the issues

Later...

Ok, I've uploaded 1.8 (Still using the NetComm Wrapper for Mscomm). It seems the sentences coming from the receiver and from Xport vary a bit, so in making it work with Xport... I've crippled the ability to read straight from the receiver. I know most of us are using a splitter anyways, so this might not be a big issue, but I will try to make it compatible to using both. Let me know if this actually does work for you now. I've included the latest Xport3 with the program, along with the NetComm installer.

Cheers... The W3bMa5t3r

WEll I have to say that it does work now with xport3. Im glad about that... But how does the tack to log work? Is it all manual or does it automatically log and then send the data when u get an internet connection. Also the gps connect/disconnect does not work it is just red all the time. But when i first open the APP it flashes green once and thats it!
