Mitac Mio 168 ....Please HELP

I have just purchased a Mio 168 GPS receiver. I have not yet purchased the software but have ordered this along with a 512mb SD card. my first question is: is there any freeware utility to be able to test out the GPS facility of this device until I can receive my orders?

My second question is: I have installed activesync on my PC. I did, as people recommended, not connect my PDA while installing, but the problem is that when i plug in the PDA using the USB connector to my PC, the PC automatically recognises my mio 168 and starts activesync. this shows that it is connecting. this connection period can go on until the PDA tiumes out after 3 minutes or longer. however, no matter how long i keep the connection period going, it never manages to fully connect. therefore i cant even create a partnership (i am already using the latest version of activesync: 3.71). can anyone help?

many thanks Confused

I have also been having this problem but I find that if I disconnect the PDA, Soft Reset it whilst swtiched on, turn it off and then connect the PDA to the PC and then switch it on I can Sync. I have to go thru this hassle fairly often.
