First I thought that the information showed another GPS, didn't think of the
backside.
Then I tried the 34057-61 exe file, that was my gps version. Didn't work.
Then I tried the 34057-63 and that worked fine!

Now I tried the visual GPS program without any luck :(
I stared the NMEA Monitor but it is blank.
I do not know now if it is the GPS or the Soft ore my adapter.

I do use another Maxim than specified! I use the MAX232 and had to add some
cap's
but i thought it should do the work.. It works when I program the unit..

So why dosn't I get any data......?

Thanks for your input on the firmware!
