Dell x50v,cf gps and Pocket Streets

You have to know which com port the GPS info is on and then tell S&T to look
at that port.

Dean, and anyone else who can add something on the subject...
I just purchased a cable on eBay connecting my Garmin eTrex GPS to my PPC.
The people I purchased it from sell the Pocket Map Navigator software.
Should I seriously consider getting this software (which I am) or are there
others comparable or better?
I tune pianos and am constantly on the road. Pocket Map seems to be just
what I'm looking for but I'd like some other opinions as well.

Thanks so much for any input from anyone.

You are correct in Comm 4 for the X50v. I have the Pharos iGPS 360 that
comes with the S&T 2005 package, and purchased the CF adapter for it. The
version of Pocket Streets that comes with that setup does work just fine. In
fact it would let me select from comm ports 1-9 (missing 6, so I assume that
is reserved by something.)

You should be OK with the newer version of PS. It does incidentally not
require you to re-cut your maps, the 2004 format is read just fine.

I don't believe it's the best bang for the buck out there but it does work
ok. It was bundled with the gps when I bought it. Personally, I've trialed
mapopolis and prefer it to pocketmap but because I've already purchased pmn
I'll keep using it until the map data is outdated. Then I'll replace it with
mapopolis or tomtom.

Hth,
Dean

Hmmm,
I can't seem to get to that option. Whenever I tap configure gps it just gives
me the wait cursor and the only way out is a soft reset. This happens whether
the gps card is inserted or not. Pstreets works fine until I attempt using
a gps. Oddly, like I said this combination worked fine with my last pda and
works with this pda using other software, just not pocket streets.
