A suggestion - which will cost you a pint if it works!
Plug in your dongle.
In Autoroute, go into the "GPS Task Pane" and click on "Configure GPS".
Then tell it to search for the device, and when it has found the COM Port it thinks the dongle is connected to, click to select it and you should be cooking on gas (as it were! )
I think it may be creating a virtual COM Port, which is where the problem may lie.
Let us know how you get on.

P.S. You loaded the drivers ??
If your dongle is the same as mine it came with two drivers on the disk, and some pretty basic instructions!!
If I remember correctly ( ) it says on the box which is the right one to use. Some members had problems with this before I think, but once the correct driver was installed all was well.
Yes, I have the correct driver loaded from the disk - dated Nov 2007 but it's more recent than the latest on CNet.
When I tried to update the driver it couldn't find anything better.
When I use AR > GPS Task Pane > Configure GPS, it's looking to COM 12 (correct) but when I click Scan, it finds "No GPS device was found" for both COM 12 and COM 10 (the only 2 ports it's seeing.
I didn't actually go outside with it, but even if it's not locking to the satellites, it should still be recognised by AR?
