if the gps is connected to the serial port then you need to disable the console which is running on the serial port.
Go into the ‘system console’ and disable it.

A new day and a fresh start and its working, I reset router and disabled the console first.
Does this mean I am unable to use winbox now ??
Thanks for you help

Ok next step, if anyone can help i would most grateful.
I would like to setup a script where the router can email each day with the current Lat/Long from the GPS …
Anyone know where a script is for this or something similar???
Thanks
