Are these NMEA strings and should Cmap be able to read them?

Have tried setting cmaps config.exe - "nmea config tab" to gps-com4-RMC and numerous other different combinations but on opening cmap no lat/long is displayed, if I unplug com port then try to open cmap says unable to open port so cmap is seeing the port and I know the data in above format is being input to com port (com port settings are correct ie baud at 4800,8,1 etc). Ready to jump overboard, any help greatly appreciated.

Don't jump YET.
set in Cmapecs.ini, where your charts are on the HDD eg where is the CM93 directory... mine in on F drive as per following lines
--------------------------------
[DIRECTORY]
CM93ROOT=F:\CM93
CM93CAT=F:\CM93
CM93CHRLIST=F:\CM93
-----------------------------------
If yours is on C:\ change F to C ( NO GAPS IN THESE LINES!!)
Got it?
