    Mapsend S&D doesnt work with the USB gps mouse.

    Nope, that's because you don't have a Garmin GPS. I figured out (finally, and after much swearing and shouting of WHY, GOD, WHY) that MapSource will switch off the map detail whenever it detects a non-garmin GPS plugged in.
    Sometimes you can trick it to show the detail again by zooming in/out but it'll just turn off again once you start moving

    nup - sorry, unless you could decompile the program and re-code it then i don't think its possible.

    First, MapSource uses the Gamin scentence structure (instead of NMEA like our GPS's) and then i think it asks the GPS for its model/serial no. to make sure that its 'allowed' to use the software.
