+bobmcc Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Trying to get into Geocaching with min $. Using an old win95 laptop and $99.00 generic GPS receiver. The receiver works great in MS Streets and Trip 2002 but using win95 the only thing you can use in MS Streets and Trips 2001 and it only works sporadically. I've tried all the com1 port settings and have tested the GPS unit every time with hyperterminal and it always puts out the data. I'm thinking is MS S & T. Anyone else had similar experience? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+park2 Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 I use S&T 2001 A LOT and have been *very* impressed with it. I would say it is darn near bullet-proof (and thats not an adjective I use much when talking about MS ) I use 2001 on both my new W2k laptop and the older home W95 desktop (as I wanted to keep the same data files). I played with a buddy's version 2002 and didn't see any difference in the map data. But sorry, I don't have suggestions as to what might be causing your problems. Quote Link to comment

+phantom4099 Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 It might be that S&T only updates the position once every 15 seconds. There is a patch available some where off the internet for free. I not sure of the address, but I imagen(SP?) some one else does. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions. Quote Link to comment
+park2 Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 There is a thread on making the update rate faster: http://opentopic.Groundspeak.com/0/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1750973553&f=5740990093&m=3360997493&r=8080931693#8080931693 (I forgot all about that as I modified mine for 2 second updates, works great) Quote Link to comment
+mrcpu Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Is your output in NMEA mode or in GARMIN mode? S+T needs NMEA Rob Mobile Cache Command Quote Link to comment
