Message	I´ve installed CF Que 1620 in a Ipaq 3970. It works fine with it's native soft, and the Oziexplorer. I´can't make it works with Arcpad. When I use Arcpad with an external GPS (etrex) I got no problems. I've tried de find gps extension and I've get the No Data received from GPS message. I think it's a com problem. Can anybody help me?. Thanks.

Message	Jeff, I think that's not the problem.If OziExplorer can open a comm port to comunicate with the CF, Arcpad also can do it, but that's whats missing, the instruction to open the comm port. I´ve got the same problem with the prior version of Ozi, then I downloaded the last version, and the problem disappear.So Garmin lets comunicate the CF via port comm to other soft. I think thats a problem between the CF and Arcap. Perhaps someone in ESRI can resolve it. Thanks

Message	Both the FindGPS and ArcPad use standard Window CE routines to open, read, write and close the COM ports. If they can not communicate with this device then the device did not implement a standard com port interface, but some propriertary interface. The OziExplorer must then being doing special tricks to communicate with the device through this proprietary interface. Does Garmin have any special drivers so that other software can communicate with their device through standard COM interface?

Message	Joe, you was right. I copied the answer sent by Garmin Tech Support: "The cfQue will only communicate in a GARMIN proprietary interface. If your ESRI Arcpad does not support the GARMIN proprietary protocol, it will not work". Perhaps in ESRI can make the Arcpad support the Garmin Propietary Protocol, in a nearby future, as Ozi did. Thanks
