opencpn 3.2.2 and Garmin 18x

[smaarch]

Just upgraded to 3.2.2. For some reason opencpn doesn't see the gps.
Any idea what I need to do?
Thanks

[smaarch]

some more information:
Windows 7
Device manager doesn't show a com port for Garmin, but says it is working correctly
Opencpn doesn't show any available connections

Logfile looks OK.

Are you certain that the GPS has a fix? Some Garmins transmit nothing until they have a valid satellite fix....
