For the second consecutive Windows 7 laptop I've owned, I'm having the problem of the GPS ports changing with every boot-up.
Franson GPSGate assigns different virtual COM ports every startup, and likewise StreetAtlas shows different COM ports in the settings drop-down. Sometimes, the StreetAtlas COM port list won't match any in the GPSGate list.
For example, GPSGate might assign COM 2, 4, 6 and 8 and StreetAtlas has COM 3,5,7 and 10 in the available list. The next boot-up, the COM numbers in both places will be different. The result is some startups result in the GPS working, some don't.
It's like it's not saving the COM settings, and just rolling the dice on the COM ports every time I boot the laptop up.
Has anyone else has this issue?
