Did you have any other SW which uses GPS successfully? Which com port does this
application use? Usually the hardware port is com1. If you use windows setting
to split the com data (automatically manage GPS port) for use with more than
one application, it will be usually com4. But this does not work on my device
(Asus P320, WM6.1). I use a third party com splitter "VirtComNG.dll
VirtComMgr.exe in VirtCom.zip". But try first the hardware port (com1 or
com0). Sometimes it helps to hard reset the device.
'log raw nmea' only works with 'read GPS data directly'.
If there are errors, a file GpsCycleComputer.log is created in the application
directory - are there any entries?

Hello Klaus,
* Yes I use other GPS applications successfully, ie TOMTOM6. In this
application the port that goes is labeled has GPS PORT and if I select COM4
(which is the applications port in windows config) it doesn't detect the GPS.
Other SW I use is TwoNav, this software has a more complex GPS config options
but basically the port used is labeled has 'COM7: GPS Port' NMEA protocol and
4800bps.... Jo Jo Jo! writing these lines I hav just try the COM7 port and ¡it
rules!
There were no entries in the log file you mention. I'll go out of the building
right now in order to see if it can get a GPS fix.
Thanks Klaus for rapid answer and clever indications.

In a short test I get fixed the position, not so much precise but the GPS in my
Acer C531 is not very precise...is a Sirf Star III ¿any ideas to improve the
precision?
Thanks again and if you need something I could do don't hesitate to ask.

Usually after a few minutes GPS operation, it gets more precise.
You can use averaging (AVG = 2 .. 4).
