Can't get live view to activate

Using franson gpsgate or not
I can connect other apps to franson gpsgate and see gps data ok

Using garmin 451s

When using setting diialog tells me connection ok but p and d indicators don't go green

Any ideas?

No ideas off the bat but we have had another report of NMEA not working - we can't reproduce it here. What is your OS, and does NMEA work OK in v1?

Os is windows 10

Not tried v1 on this pc is it still availabe for download can try it if so

You can download the latest v1 (v1.8.41) from our download page.

Tried v1 not working either

I noticed on the serial port setting screen there 3 odd chars after the com1 that are not there on the others apps that work ok with and without franson gpsgate in both v1 and v2
Maybe nothing but it's the only noticeable thing except of course that the p and d don't go green

Note memory map , and our own .net data logging app both work ok with and without franson gpsgate

Any ideas on a resolution ?

Hi Colman,
I will contact you via email to get some more information on your system, as we need to resolve this issue. One thing to try in the mean time is installing/repairing the Microsoft .NET 4.6 framework, as there have been some issues here in the past.

To have a look at the Raw com port data , looks just like a normal NMEA string

By the way Reefmaster tells me that it can connect to the port , but the P and D lights don't go green , could it be that it is not recognizing the NMEA string ?

Brought My PC and GPS unit home from boat so I can help debug with it during the week , so let me know what to try

Are there any movements, if possible, to work with virtual COM ports from GpsGate?
LiveData works only when connected to a physical com port.
I cannot use wireless NMEA data with Lowrance Wifi.
Can I send you the gpsgate program and the log to simulate the playback of the COM port emulation?

Yes, please do, to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Did you receive my letter by mail?
Is there any movement to solve the problem?

Got it, thanks. Haven't had time to look into this yet but will do so in the new year.
