Okay, I thought for this much money I would get at least a neutral GPs.

I just happen to be shopping and picked it up and nowhere did it say that
I need to use their lamo software.

I have Streets & Trips, I also have IGuidance which is way better.

I am going to return this unit and get the one off Amazon the tiny,
USB/BlueTooth for 80$ vs 120.

I wanted to use NetStumbler, I wanted to use it with Streets & Trips if
needed, I also wanted to use it with iGuidance.

I wanted to collect NetStumbler Data of WiFi points in my city and dump it
on a map. This stupid unit will not let you do that....

Check amazon out.. I had something bookmarked and not sure if I had my
eye on the OnCourse SiRF star III Bluetooth GPS Receiver with WAAS or
something similar. I also have a PocketPC PDA with iGuidance on it and
supports BlueTooth so I think I am better off with that.

I ended up finding the GPSGate v2.0 and I am trying it out as we speak.
The 14 day trial is great. I got it working with iGuidance, S&Trips 2006
and NetStumbler all at the same time.

They all work at the same time and I still wonder if a GPS w/SiRF might
be a better option with BlueTooth even thoug my laptop does not have
BT nor COM Ports only USB.

Although I know the one I want to get you can get data cable for USB
for about 80$/each.

Right now I am searching for a in-car laptop holder for under 100$. I have
an older HP laptop that my wifi card got screwed and at least I can load the
GPS and use it as my guidance system and not scan for WiFi unless I get a
WiFi / USB...

I think if you download the trial version or by Friday this week, you can get
20% off of GPSGate not sure if they do this after you enter you email and
d/l the trial version or what...

Thanks for the help and I will also check the other version out but I Think
that iGuidance is very good and might be better than nRouter. S&Trips 2006
is good at POI, and lakes and such. I also like the Netstumbler + StreetStumb
to import WiFi spots into S&Trips..
