I'm trying to get this open source GPS tracking application working:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pda-navigation/

However when I set the GPS port to that of whats set in Settings->External GPS Software it can't connect.

I noticed that Google Maps won't connect unless the port in Settings->External is NONE and Google Settings to Automatic. Why is this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Not quite sure what the difference is with the settings, but:

Have you tried establishing a GPS connection first using HTC GPS Tool, or VisualGPS, or even just Google Maps / Live Search AND THEN enabling the program?

It might be something lacking considering the description designates Win 2003 and Winmo 5. Otherwise, I don't know.

Also VisualGPS only lacks sunrise/sunset times compared to the one your trying to configure.(has compass, GPS info, ability to extract info)
