I can reconfigure it with the Garmin software, connect/disconnect with my PC, and sentences will be normal. On first connect with the tablet, it will send some other sentences (because my GPS fix progress will increase), but then only send GGA and GSA again. It will continue to send only GGA and GSA sentences until I reconfigure it.

It is almost as if MM is sending some config data to the GPS, which I was under the impression that MM transmits nothing. Is there perhaps some way to verify that no information is being transmitted from the tablet to the GPS? I've seen some people discussing /dev/rfcomm0 for received sentences; is there an equivalent for transmissions?
Hi,

No I haven't been able to get either MM or Map to use my GPS10. What is strange though is if I pair my GPS10 with the N800 and neither map program is running, I can display my location with the GPS Icon in Control Panel, so the N800 does read the GPS10, just neither of the map programs do. They do, however, triger the GPS icon in the task bar at the top. I'm starting to believe it's a bug in how GPS data is transmitted to the applications.

Also, I can't seem to change the configuration of my GPS10 with the Garmin snsr config app. It acts like the new configuration is being uploaded to the GPS10, but if I retreive the configuraton from the GPS10, it is the same as it was before uploading the new config. The GPS10 does work with non-Garmin apps on other devices, just not the N800. Also , the GPS10 did work with an earlier version of MM under OS2007, it seems between the upgrade to OS2008 and MM, something has broken, because it no longer works with MM if I downgrade to OS2007. I even tried reinstalling older versions of MM.
