The gps units use standard 9600 8n1 settings that I have found. But others use 4800 anyway you may have gotten a crippled version of street by ms. Have heard there were 2 but unsure.. My advise is to get street atlas as the maps are updated yeary but you have to buy the upgrade of course.. And it works with all gps units.. To be honest with you the reviews of rand mcnally maps are excelent but no direction mapping can be done without dialup or internet access..where as the sa does routing for you.. If you have sa use it and stay away from street as I didn’t like it all that much when I have used it.. Garmin software is sweet also but expensive.. Fugawi from what I have read works excelent also but havent used it. Don’t know if it supports routing -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Hanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2002 6:47 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] Win95B/98/now street atlas Date: Sun, 03 Feb 2002 00:40:19 +0000 From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] Win95B/98/now street atlas >Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2002 16:30:18 EST >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Well, this is interesting...

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? >So that means that Streets on the >Lib is not even seeing the Com ports at all, regardless of GPS >>connection. >I'm not sure, this may be worse than I thought. 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?
