While it doesn't seem to bother the app itself it is curious.
One final question (I hope!)...were you successful in locating a USB-Serial adapter for your GPS that works with the XO drivers? Thanks again for your help!

Howdy - I was pointed to this topic from the related topic on the SSCA forum. The message about little-endian non-support is nothing you can do anything about. It refers to the fact that a "word" of data (made of two bytes) is swapped, so that the least significant byte (the "little end") comes first in the word, as opposed to being "big-endian" (three guesses what happens there...
) and it's tied to nature of your PC.
In general, sad to say, NavGator isn't the best computer citizen I've ever met. There's far too much "my way or the highway" in the serial port processing and, as you discovered, the sound handling.
