I > didn't realize that MapSource had it's own program, but of course it must. [T] Yeah, quite a nice little prog (for one that comes with a unit). You open up a std 32bit app (Mapsource) then select the 'map' database you want to use (there's a Worldmap (reasonable detail), Road & Rec maps for lots of countries (better detail .. side streets, petrol stations etc) and now City Select (you choose one 'free' area when you buy the GPS .. U chose the UK and it goes down to greater detail .. ie house numbers for all the uk!). The 'trade-off' is how many map sections you can download from your PC (Libby) to the GPS .. more detailed map, less of them in your GPS. > > >[T] The only think I've noticed now is that 98 hangs at the real mode stage > >during boot (cleared by a CR ..
