Stu. Have checked all the settings and are the same as yours, also tried com 2 so now clutching at straws decided to swap machines, and guess what it works, So can anyone explain computor 1. Amd athlon 2000+ 1.66Ghz 512MB Ram Windows XP Pro Ver 2002 Service pack 2 Flight Sim 2004 with VFR Photo scenery 1,2,3,& 4 AutoRoute 2001 Computor 2 Pentium 3 500Mhz 320 MB Ram Window 98 SE Flight Sim same copy as above Autoroute same copy as above works ok from 2 to 1 but not 1 to 2 obviously need to run fs on computor 1 as is the better and faster machine, any suggestions as to why or solutions to try Regards Peter

Hi Stu & Pete Have double checked my conection same as yours stu, have set both com ports in device manager to 4800, have also tried the settings from pete. still not seeing a gps connected regards Peter

Pete. cheched ouput with portmon and the output is ok, tried changing the interval as you suggested and I now get the following on the hyperterminal $GPGGA,171640.00,4725.8904,N,12218.4798,W,1,05,0.0,131.9,M,,,,*2C $GPGSA,A,3,01,02,03,,,,,,,,,,3.0,3.0,3.0*31 $PGRMZ,432.9,f,2*08 $GPGLL,4725.8904,N,12218.4798,W,171640.00,A*18 Which I guess is some where near right. It is poss that the cable is incorrect as Ive Had to mak up a plug and socket to get a straight cable to a null modem but I think it is correct and hyperterminal produces the corrrect characters on the opp screen both ways, but autoroute still does not see a gps connected, regards Peter

Pete. Thanks for the quick reply. yes the gps on autoroute has to be installed seperatly this I have done but when you go to gps the track the error message no gps connected is shown. the speed is not adjustable but it states to set the gps at 4800 If I start hyperterminal on the second computor when fs starts the text is displayed but no its not text as such Sample of output to hyperterminal this is continous (x††`ž˜†à†à†à†˜†ø˜~˜f`f†˜à†žà˜àžàx†˜x†à†à†à†à†à†à†à†à†à††ž˜x††ž˜x††f æxfxf€˜€`†f`f†ž†~ø††žxà†BB0fæxæ€f€˜€) Have now tried the settings that Stu suggested still the same Stu. thanks for your settings as you can see from above still not right. thanks again to both of you regards Peter

Hi can you please help I am trying to set up gpsout and autoroute have tried all setting but cannot get autoroute to see the gps all I get is no gps connected. I think I have followed all instructions have set speed to 4800 and tried most of the sentence parameters but wom't work. If I start up Hyperteminal on the 2nd computor I see a contious flow of data when fs2004 is running so I guess the connection is ok and the coputor is sending out the data ok to the com ports. any suggestions please. regards Peter
