Well for all gps info I always goto gps joe ;-) http://joe.mehaffey.com/ the gps12 on ebays might be the good gps12.. But the gps3 has the ability of the external ant. Connections and you can get them cheaper then 399 list I scored mine the day after thanksgiving for 99 bucks for a referb. Just keep an eye on ebay and around the net... Sa will allow you to use any gps receiver that has nmea compatibility.. The gps3 does not have uploadable base maps which is nice to be able to do but what I do with my gps3 is I just upload the route to the gps unit and I read off it.. Gets me close enough to where I can then pull out the laptop and then get a detailed map for the area. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Hanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 12:12 AM To: Libretto Subject: RE: [LIB] Win95B/98 Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 06:04:36 +0000 From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [LIB] Win95B/98 Pres & Phillip and all, What kind of GSP units are you using with SA, and what do they run? I got a copy of SA last year, and never used it much because I ended up getting MS Streets for $6 after rebate and copying the entire thing to my 6.4GB drive. But now I think I have the Lib list posting on how to get the SA CD running from the HDD, and I've learned about SA's moving map and directions come through audio. A friend told me he got a Garmin GPS Map 12 for about $250 a few years back. So I looked on EBay thinking that I should be able to pick up one for under $100 these days. But to my surprise, that're going for $150-$200 used! I think Delorme offers a cheap GPS unit to attach to a laptop for around $40... is that right? But I was thinking that during the day, it'd be impossible to see the SA map on the Lib LCD very well. It looks like a lot of the Garmin GPSs have a map readout that might be a lot more readable in daylight inside a car. I was wondering what your experiences have been. Do you, or anyone else, know if there any good GPS units that will interface with SA on a Lib that have their own map display for under $100 used or new? I figure if MusicMatch runs as well as it does on this 70CT running W98, and will play MP3s while I multitask... I'm guessing SA should run pretty well too. I can load my copy of SA now and check out how well it runs without the GPS for you if you'd like Pres.
