Thanks Pete for our quick reply! My hat is off to you sir… I verified the serial port using portmon as per your suggestion. Just as you predicted, there was nothing wrong with GPSOUT at all. In fact, I just managed to get my FS to work with Pocket Streets on my PDA on COM1. At least I am now able to rule out GPSOUT, the serial cable and my PDA. My next step is to post on PocketFMS forum for help on setting up PocketFMS. Much appreciated! Love your work. Gosman

Help! I am trying to get my IpaQ 5400 working with gpsout and pocketfms with no success at all. Here is what I did: Downloaded the latest gpsout utility and placed the dll and .ini files in the module folder of FS2002. I modified the .ini file with the following: [GPSout] Sentences=RMC,PGRMZ,GGA Interval=100 Port=COM2 Speed=57600 (I tried other speeds as well) I configured my PDA version of pfms to match (i.e, GPS on COM 2 & 57600 Baud) The PDA comes with a serial and USB cable so I didn’t need to modify or buy new serial cable. PDA is connected and verified on COM2 of the PC running FS. I started the FS (even selected GPS on FS, not sure if it makes any difference), enables the GPS on the PFMS. I would expect at this point the GPS information flowing to the PDA. Unfortunately this is not the case! I tried it with activesynch on the same COM port, different COM port and even with activesynch disabled. Same results :cry: Can anyone please help? Thanks, Gosman BTW – It run flawlessly with a BT-GPS using bluetooth connection.
