Hmmm.... is this one of the old DeLorme TripMate or EarthMate GPSs? They had a characteristic of sending a model announcement string, and wouldn't do anything else until that string was echoed back by the computer.
YAAC knows the sequence to enable a TripMate or EarthMate running in the Serial_GPS driver (not using GPSD), but may not know the proprietary code for the one you are using. What specific make and model of GPS are you using?

Again, thank you for the help Andrew. Using your suggestion i found that the GPS
module signs on with some kind of header and then fails to send anymore information to
YAAC. While it will stream to a terminal, it does not do so otherwise.
It was necessary to purchase a new laptop as one of my older ones died, before installing Ubuntu i'll
give it a try with YAAC in Windows 11 and a different GPS puck and see what happens.
Thank-you again and this can be closed as the problem is somewhere other than YAAC.
