SUMMARY
The Microsoft programs listed above use the GPS tool in Control Panel to
communicate with GPS (Global Positioning System) devices. The GPS tool in
Control Panel detects serial GPS devices connected to any COM port on the
computer. However, if the GPS device is connected to COM3 or COM4, the
program cannot detect the device.
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is by design.
