OK, 2 more things. Go in and edit the registry, if your uncomfortable doing this I suggest sending a PM to Dash to use his services. If you are felling a little foggy and want to jump. Do a search in the reg and for to GPSMode and change the value to 4 from 2. Next and this is the gooch! Go to external GPS in the setup and change the program com port to 8, then the hardware port to 4, and the baud to 38400, and finally make sure it is checked to allow windows to manage your GPS. You will be amazed on how fast the response time will be. If it does nothing for you it is easy to switch back but it will. I went from a soft restart it took 2-3 min to get a solid lock, down to 6-10 seconds for a full 3D lock. Really that impressive.This is all info I have been digging up in an OCD fit over the past 2 weeks and this is the shit distilled from the mountains of posts out there.
Good luck!
