Everything seemed to be working fine at last, but I failed to make a
critical test before I put it all in the airplane: I did not do a cold
start of the whole system. Upon starting everything up in the airplane,
I found that WxWorx could not communicate with the GPS. Nothing I tried
worked until I deleted the GPS from Bluetooth devices in the Windows
Control Panel and added it back again. Then, everything worked fine
until I cold started again, whereupon WxWorx again could not find the
GPS.



I haven't had any of these issues on the PDA, so it makes me wonder if
the Bluetooth issues are related to WindowsXP. I know that I can't get
my WindowsXP laptop to maintain a steady WiFi connection no matter what
I do... it's good for a random period of time, and then it drops and
resets. Have no such problem with WiFi on the iPaq or with my
Apple-branded laptop.
