chestajeff Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 In FS9 what are the settings you use? I run both FS9 and FSX. Does your GPS use a serial connection or usb? Thank you again for all of your input and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chestajeff Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Thanks, used your data with great success. By the way it also works with FSX, as long as the unit is set to 4,800 baud. Happy flying! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
