Hey Everyone,
Well I've been using this thing with no troubles in the car, and in the plane a couple times. And just tonight I went to use it with Streets and Trips on my way back from a friends house, and it won't work :'(. I tried plugging it into other usb slots on the side of the laptop and scanning for the gps device under the new ports but NO LUCK
. So after about 15 minutes of messing around with it in the car I figured I'd wait until I got home to reinstall the drivers.
I reinstalled the drivers, and the same thing happened. I deleted all the drivers and anything associated with the gps and did a fresh install of it and still no luck. It seems like no matter what I do, it only searches COM4. When I've used it before it would work under all the usb slots and be anywhere from com5 to com8. How can I get this thing working again?? It has the blinking red light so it must be aquiring satalite signals. But I think my problem is in the software for installing it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would love to be able to use this to go flying tomorrow, but it seems like really bad luck that it would crap out the night before. I really hope it's not fried. But then again, it's never seen water/weather and it's always been inside :'( Where am I going wrong?
It's the bu-353 usb, and it won't search any other ports but com4. wtf??

edit:
when I search for the gps device, it never finds it because it only will look at com4, I don't quite understand what my next steps are..
Any ideas?
