    Hi All,

    I have the GOBI2000 card and cannot seem to get the GPS to work with anything.

    It shows up in my Device Manager:

    so I believe it is installed correctly. I have WWAN via AT&T and that works fine, too (though I realize this is separate from the GPS, just saying the card works at least in that capacity).

    Using Google Earth, it seems to correctly identify the GPS on com6, but then it zeroes out to (0,0) lat/lan and then just stays there. I've had similar results with other GPS utilizing software.

    Any ideas?

    *edit* nevermind, got it working.
