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.
