The error message says: "Could Not Retrieve Device Information". If I choose Tools>GPS>Track Position the message is: "No Gps device found on this machine. Verify your GPS device is connected and turned on, blah, blah, blah" BTW, I got the same result in Streets connecting the GPS receiver to the I/O replicator. Switching to Fugawi moving map software, it acknowledges the GPS receiver, identifies it by manufacturer correctly, and locates it within 20 feet of exact location on its USA Streets map. Maybe it's time to spend more than $6 on routing software. Streets does work pretty well with routing, and Autoroute was a lifesaver in Europe, but this fight with the GPS is getting tiresome. Maybe the fresh W98se install on a brand new hard drive will make everything all better :^) Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
