I found that in GPS programs it didn't matter. I also noticed that the NO case only occurred when certain NMEA strings were being sent from the GPS unit. In my head, I figured it was just a program error: the software only things the device is a GPS if it receives a certain NMEA string, if it receives other ones, it things it is a generic serial device and therefore doesn't fix.
I think its a protocol thing, but iGuidance still sees everything fine, and by reading the NMEA strings manually, I know that it's all working.

You could try using XPort and turning on the NMEA filter.

Pull out of the garage. 
You were getting 10 sats, but the signal was too weak to hit the fix threshold for each one. As long as you see changing data from at least 1 sat, it's basically functioning.
