It's definitely on port 4 and I suspect the baud is autosensing. WRT
the OP's comment, you shouldn't need to use the Windows Mobile GPS
settings - AIUI, that's for setting up a virtual port so as multiple
apps can access GPS data at once. You *can* use it of course, but make
sure you set the 'real' GPS port to be port 4.
