SUMMARY
The Microsoft programs listed above use the GPS tool in Control Panel to communicate with GPS (Global Positioning System) devices. The GPS tool in Control Panel detects serial GPS devices connected to any COM port on the computer. However, if the GPS device is connected to COM3 or COM4, the program cannot detect the device.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is by design.
