Troubleshouting External GPS

I'm having some trouble with connection to my external GPS (ADAPT 300).
When using the GPS directly after connect (Com 6) it works fine..
but when I want to use it after sometime.. after starting TomTom (or other Applicaton using GPS) my GPS wants to (re)connect..

This is pretty annoying since I have to do the connection process all over again.. (pin, setting outgoing com)
Any suggestions.. is this WM6 related (I noticed similar when using WM6 on my i-Mate JAmin)

Regards

Yesterday, I had also problem configuring the BT-338 external GPS.

But then it was working fine.

I use TomTom 6.010 btw, and I dont think TomTom use the external GPS setting.

At first, I fiddled around with the external GPS without success.

Then I realized that I must create an OUTPUT COMPORT in the BT settings!

So, I set that and voila, it works.

However, the comport that I set is different compared to the one that I set in the External GPS -> hardware ... But TomTom still works.

TomTom set to use Other BT GPS at com port 6 [ saved ]

External GPS:
- Software com port set to 9
- Hardware com port set to 5

BT settings:
- Output com port set to 5

I replaced my Adapt AD300 with a i-Blue747 GPS Logger.
Problem is solved, reconnecting works fine now.

Since the problem occurred on 2 different Devices running WM6, my conclusion is that the ADAPT AD 300 is not compatible with WM6.
1st was iMate JAMin with the WM6 PDA Viet 4.0.0.6 Touch Rom
2nd was the HTC Dual
