Default Navigator 3, signal unreliable, urgent!

I have installed ttn3 and cannot get a GPS signal. I have been outside and have driven around in direct line of sight to the sky for about 15 mins and still cannot get one.

Can anyone tell me the correct settings to have for my XDAIIs?

Settings - on COM2, all gps functions run slowly (not operationally viable)
- on COM9, GPS position unreliable
- Serial Cable on COM1, "Cannot open COM1: Port does not exist"
- I have IR, 2 Bluetooth ports, BT UART (not sure what this is)

Just a note - the title probably doesnt reflect this post well anymore, i tried changing it, I have a flashing green light on my wired tomtom gps receiver which I have read means that enough signal has been received, I am just trying to find the correct setting.

Can you help?

Thanks

I've sorted it, if anyone else needs to know, turn of beam and use COM 1.

I used the search, all of the queries were for bluetooth gps, the problem there is of a conflict, it just took me a while to apply com port blocking to my wired solution.
