G'day, when you 1st start tomtom it will take you through a setup prcedure. Miles or kilometres, time, etc.... It will also ask what type of gps receiver to use and after selecting you can choose what com port....

BUT first... I find it easier if you go to com manager (afte 1st disabling external GPS settings) and pairing gps receiver manually, then after it pairs, tick serial port. Go to comm ports (at bottom of bluetooth menu) and create a new one. It should list your GPS receiver.. Pick whatever com port you wish (please note that com 3 is "unavailable"). I use com port 4 with a lot of success.
Hope this helps...Cheers...:D
