Volks, Just got off the phone with MS Support. Turns out the new Delorme USB Earthmate USB GPS Receiver I have is incompatible with MS Streets & Trips 2003. Here's the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B177386 The following GPS devices are incompatible with the Microsoft programs DeLorme Earthmate DeLorme Tripmate* Sony SkyMap Rand McNally 1225B-R1 Pharos StreetsNav GPS Haicom HI-202e Since MS Streets & Trips seems to be about the only GPS software with Canadian Maps .... I'll be looking to purchase a compatible USB GPS Receiver. So far I have turned up two units that claim compatibility: Rayming TN-200 USB port GPS Receiver Model - RY200 http://www.thegpsstore.net/detail.asp?product_id=ry200 DeluoT Navigation Kit: USB GPS for Laptop with Rand McNally StreetFinderR http://www.deluo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=DE&Pro duct_Code=GPSU&Category_Code=GR
BTW .. Amazon currently has MS Streets & Trips 2003 for $9.99 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006IZC8/102-1152678-0317750 If anyone has hands on experience with either of these units .. Pls let m know.
