    Hi All,

    I just got my CF-30FASCZAM preinstalled with vista, I replaced vista with Win7 and all is working except the GPS. I installed Win7 with the GPS disabled, then installed the registry patch and re-enabled the GPS. When I start Winfast Navigator it cannot find the GPS... I also cannot find a specific GPS driver on the Panny site. The only flagged item in Device Manager is a "PCI data acquisition and signal processing controller" which kinda sounds like a GPS device. Any ideas as to what is wrong? The GPS did work in Vista...

    In winFast is it showing your com port setting and Baud rate. Do you have them set the same as it was in vista ? I am suprised that W7 did not download the drivers for you .

    Resource conflict. Try to change the com port the one not in use. This is already been discussed a few month ago. I'm lazy to look on that thread, Lol. Under cf-29 discussion.
