Pres, To configure a GPS in Streets, the progression of menu items is Tools>GPS>Configure GPS Receiver. With success (which I've had with a desktop and a Vaio laptop) a dialog box labeled GPS Receiver Settings then comes up, with a choice of com ports. On the Lib (100CT, 64MB), I get to the Configure GPS Receiver step and then get an ambiguous error message. This happens with either a PCMCIA-Serial card connection or the EPR (didn't have the I/O bar at that time). I have reinstalled Streets twice, and checked for GPS output using Hyperterminal (confirmed GPS output). Also went through several emails worth of tech support with Garmin - they gave up, said it was Microsoft's problem. The Lib will recognize the GPS and work perfectly using Fugawi moving map software (either connection works), but not Streets. To complete the frustration, a serial mouse attached to either connection will work fine. I haven't resorted yet to Microsoft tech support. Any ideas?
