I don't know. What did the output look like, and how did you configure Putty? "Not quite right" is a bit strange, as far as I know it either works or you only see complete nonsense with lots of weird characters.
I've been trying to figure it out. This is what I've found so far:
1. In PuTTY, setting the correct device rate (4800 baud), gives NMEA data. Setting 9600 baud gives strange characters. This seems right, given what you said.
2.For some reason the command-prompt commands don't seem to work. (Have even run as admin.) While the mode command seems to reflect changed port settings, no data showed i.e.:
mode COM3 baud=4800 parity=N data=8 {result = gives output of settings}
type COM3 {result = nothing)
3. I used Powershell and could read NMEA data from the COM port at 4800 baud. (Setting at 9600 didn't work - didn't even show strange characters)
I'm going to send you some screenshots of the non-working command line attempt/s as well as the working PuTTY settings.
