That's funny... I have MS Streets on my L50.  When I go to Tools>GPS>, the 
sub-menu that pops up is entirely greyed out.

I'm just starting to learn about setting up a GPS with mapping software, so 
I'm new to this.  If you're getting the sub-menu under Tools>GPS> to be 
active and available on your desktop, should mine be available without 
connecting a GPS?  Or is there something else I missed in setting up the 
software?

You mentioned that you can connect your GPS to the Lib via the replicator 
port, or via a PC Card serial port.  Is the PC Card connection any faster or 
more reliable... or is a serial connection limited to a set data transfer 
speed by definition?
