I have the MGBoxV2 GPS as well and using APCC Pro 1.8.0.5.

It all works properly for me.

When you say you have it on "COM 3" - shouldn't it be set to "MGBoxV2" under COM Port id APCC??

Hi Claude,

For some strange reason when I try to connect to MGBOXv2 / GPS using
APCC Pro 1.8.0.5 a dialogue pops up saying "Closing GPS Connection
MGBoxV2: Cannot create ActiveX component." I have MGBOXV2 setup on Com
3 using the ASCOM chooser. I can connect to the environmental settings and a test shows the data comes in.
That usually means the MGBox ObservingConditions ASCOM driver is not installed, or not properly installed.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.
