Microsoft Streets And Trip ?

[+NWMOhunter]

I got my new 76 Cx today and I was hoping that Streets and Trip 2006 would recognize the USB connection, but it does not. Is there a way to make the program recognize the USB GPS?

 

I have a power/data cable on the way, but then would have to use a serial/USB adapter in order to get it to connect to the laptop. Would this change anything? I have not yet used the serial/USB adapter that I have so I'm not sure if the drivers will force the laptop to look at the USB as a COM port or not change anything about the way it looks at it.

 

Any ideas, input or suggestions?

Try software package called GPSgate. It creates a virtual comm port that allows S&T to recognize GPSr. I think it is free to try.

Also you have to make shure it is in nmea mode and go to configure device and search. hope this helps

Check and see if there's any updates for S&T that'll support the Garmin unit. If not, and it's not to late, return S&T and get Delorme Street Atlas, which DOES support the Garmin USB units. (And, is a better product overall, in my opinion.)
