• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Microsoft Pharos GPS-500 SIRF III - GRLevel 3

Make sure you uninstalled all previous drivers before plugging the GPS in and installing the new drivers. Also a good idea to restart the computer prior to plugging in and installing the new GPS.

You said GRL3 is stuck on COM3. Can you please answer these two questions?
  1. What COM is the GPS connected to (in Device Manager)?
  2. Is there a yellow triangle in device manager (like there was in the last video)?
A screenshot of your device manager with Ports expanded would help a lot.

Let us know, and we can solve from there.

Here is the screen shot of the device manager and the COM ports. Trying GPSGate and other solutions. Beginning to think it's some driver conflict. No telling where to start.
 
The link is broken. I wouldn't bring GPSGate into the equation until you have the S4 installed and fully functional. That will undoubtedly muddy the waters even more.
 
GPS Sensor is that tied to your Android phone location service? I'd change the COM Port 5 entry in GPS Sensor to COM Port 3 in order to pass data through that Port.

Your S4 unit has installed to COM Port 7 now and it looks fine in Device Manager. Try GRL3 now and see if 7 is available.

Now I get it. You had "GPS Reverse" installed and I thought all along it was the Pharos driver. I kept wondering who the driver author was - Michael Choudakis (spelling?). Their GPS software looks very interesting and worth considering for the future, especially in light of the advent of Windows location services.
 
Thanks Guys,

I uninstalled everything and reloaded CD. It jumped between two different COM ports each time I plugged it in so no telling if this is a solid fix. GRLevel3 is now working on COM6.
