Maybe you guys can help me out... I just installed xport3,
My BU303 is installed on com7. Using xport, I split it to com8 & com9.
Iguidance works with the newly created com port, but destinator 2 does not... It keeps saying "com port busy" and does not give me the option to change the com port in the settings (the selections are greyed out...

Any ideas?

Do you see a dot by the COM port in XPort? That means it's really in use. If you do, just close the other GPS apps until it goes away and try again. If you don't then maybe Destinator is trying to open the real GPS port. I remember it was hard to set the COM port. I think I set it in Destinator.ini

Any news about his one? Is the Emtac only BT-receiver (mentioned on the first page), that allows multiple connections, or are there any new models appeared? Same question also to the USB-side, all the USB-receivers supports only one device?

I have a BU353 GPS receiver witha USB connection. I use a software product called GPSGate to divert the incoming NMEA data from the BU353 and split it out to two virtual COM ports for different GPS applications.
