I think you may have pointed me to a registry key to modify. Is that what you've done? What's your plan for getting a working GPS? I am using a stand-alone Garmin GPS-2Plus There are no real speed issues on the L50/32MB/W98/810MB Compressed. It is a little sluggish, but it seems no more sluggish than the L100. As a general reminder, I will tell anyone wanting to use a moving-map program on any laptop ( except a Japanese Libretto which lacks PrtScr but there is a Fn+something workaround ) to do the following: 1Start...settings...control panel...Accessibility Options 2go to the display tab 3go straight to settings, never mind the use high contrast checkbox for now select USE SHORTCUT ( which will be your choice of this ONLY option: LEFT_SHIFT+LEFT_ALT+PRT_SCR ) 4select high contrast color scheme as CUSTOM 5then pick High Contrast White ( or any other color scheme but try that ) 6then go to the general tab, and UNcheck automatic reset. Now, hit LEFT-SHIFT plus LEFT-ALT plus PrtScr and wait a few moments. HUZZAH! The screen, and the menus, are delightfully big, bold, dark black on a white background. The map itself is no different but Windows, and its menus, is great to read. You can tune up the High Contrast White settings in display properties even further. Shame the mobile map colors feature on Street Atlas makes the map black with green pointers. Who thought THAT was a visual aid? As to getting the map from the HDD? No problem if you have a CD with the runtime files. Run the program, use the EXTRACT program, and extract various areas ( or the whole USA ) to the HDD. It will be in c:\program files\Street Atlas 7\mapdata By the way, during install if you have room, pick the MIDDLE option of store locators on HD so you get nice things like Locate by Address available.

Seems like it's a pretty new unit, and has some inpressive specs for the price. Some company on EBay has posted a bunch of factory furbished eMaps with a 1 year warranty with a $49.95 starting price, and a $119 'Buy Now' price. It looks like a great unit at a great price. I was just hoping to get some feedback/comparison on it. I'll have a look at that website you mentioned.

Matt Matt, The GPS web site that Phillip recommended is: http://www.joe.mehaffey.com/ He's right, this is a site with a lot of information, including a timely discussion/review of low cost GPS hardware and moving map software.

The Etrex series is nice for dual-duty (in- and out-of-vehicle) as they are all waterproof (submersion to 1 meter, I think). I have had no problems using my Venture in a vehicle, w/o external antenna.

The Etrex series is nice for Oh? I believe I have used Streets and Trips with the Libretto and GPS. What happens? Pres, To configure a GPS in Streets, the progression of menu items is ToolsGPSConfigure 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?

As I recall it, there is some lines in the registry that tell the mouse program what ports to look at, and it defaults to looking at all comm1 to 4 ports you have installed. Basically you uninstall the reference to the port you are using the GPS unit on. Of course with streets and trips crippled gps support, I'm not sure you will be happy with it, anyway unless you patch it.
