I just bought the USB version of the Deluo reciever (VERY fast shipping BTW). I am having problems using it with MS Streets 2001. The software doesn't allow me to use the GPS feature from the pulldown menu. Should Streets automatically recognize to reciever? The package only came with the reciever, driver disc, and an add for other Deluo products. The lack of documentation is kind of frustrating. Does anyone have any information that might help me? I am still waiting to hear back from Deluo on this issue.

thanks
Scott

well im not sure why MS streets isnt recognizing it -- im not familiar with the program -- but install the driver disc, and if you want to make sure the reciever is working, go into hyperterminal, create a new connection to com 3 (or whatever the receiver goes to, usually com3), 4800 8n1 and you should see a bunch of data.. if you see that, your USB-Serial bridge is working, and the gps receiver is working -- and its just an ms streets problem...

There is a file in the root of ms streets cd that you have to run in order for the prog to know you want gps support. 2001 is kinda old and didn't have the support built in.
