Awesome software on a phone! Somehow I can't get it to work on my laptop (I don't own a suitable phone myself)
Regardless what I try, RC doesn't seem connect to my (cheap) usb gps. Live Timer just says no connection to GPS and nmea file stays empty. The gps works fine with navigation software as well as with a gps info software provided with the device.
COM-port should be correct and I've tried all baudrates without any luck.
Any ideas what I could try next?

If you can not get the data visible with "real term" you probably won't have success with RaceChrono either :)
The GPS data is clear text and has a lot of sentences starting with $GP
The GPS seems to put out data at 4800 baud. Short sample below just in case there's something funny in the data (It's indoors, so no signal).

If RC would be receiving the data it would not say "No connection to GPS", right? That's what it does regardless what I do.
Now I just wonder where I could find a more accurate and higher refresh rate usb gps. Cheaply of course
Thank you for your help and an amazing software!
