Following the Left Coast Lead, to me it looks like the gps started, but when running cutecom can not verify it. Also Foxtrot program did not lock in for me, however it's raining out and too cold...

Following another thread, I ran this code:
toughbook@toughbook-CF-19FHGAXAM ~ $ dmesg | grep tty
[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 2.131395] 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[ 2.152387] 00:09: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
[ 2.173377] 00:0a: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 11) is a 16550A
toughbook@toughbook-CF-19FHGAXAM ~ $

I think ttyS2 is my gps, but still need to confirm

This is a MK1? Did you try /dev/ttyS1? (equates to com2)

OEM GPS or add-on? Driven by USB?

$lsusb
$dmesg | grep tty
Fair for you/ Fair for me.

Sorry I did not post model number...
CF-19CHGCXBM
Description: WinXP, Intel Core Duo U2400 1.06GHz (Centrino), 10.4" XGA Touch, 80GB, 1GB, Intel WiFi a/b/g/n, Dual Pass (UpperWWAN/Lower:WLAN), TPM, Bluetooth, GPS, No Drive
I'll try your advice and report back
With the XP drive/caddy, the gps is on com 3 baud 4800 and locks in nicely.

running cutecom in terminal, there are adjustable settings for device, baud rate, data bits, & parity.
I've tried all of the device setting choices using baud rate 4800, data bits 8, stop bits 1, parity none.

any suggestions on these settings?

Thank you

I think your bluetooth is conflicting, or you did not load the entire package of gpsd-utilites.

$dmesg
re-boot and disable bluetooth in bios
$dmesg #see what is different
$sudo gpsd -D5 -N -n /dev/ttyS1
$gpsmon
Fair for you/ Fair for me.
