Hi Jason,
Just split the serial cable between the computer and the D7. I do this
very thing with my setup. I have Street Atlas 2007 on my iPAQ and built a
Y-cable to go between the single GPS receiver and the D7/D700 plus
handheld. Street Atlas doesn't need to communicate back to the GPS
receiver so just leave that signal line disconnected between them. Two
signals (transmit and receive) between the radio and the GPS receiver and
one signal from the GPS receiver to the computer.

Steve,
I have the emulator working from, say virtual port 2 to virtual port 3
both ways on the laptop.. If I plug the GPS into the one physical serial
port on the laptop, I don't get how to share that with the way I
understand to set the emulator up with ID #1 "pair" 2 and 3. I must be
missing something, but at least I can talk back and forth on the virtual
pair 2 & 3.
Is there more documentation somewhere?
