Via Michelin

I'm using viamichelin(searching for a better app) here are some pros and cons:

Pros - Very userfriendly, 3d view

Cons - Hard to get updates, before u can use the touch-screen friendly u needa fil in ur detination etc without a touch-screen friendly gui, it brings you to your destination by strange roads OMG really strange..

More detail: Some USB GPS receivers simply route the GPS information over to your PC's com port so the GPS APPEARS to be a serial GPS. They do this by installing a small driver known as a USB-serial port bridge. You can then set the com port by right clicking My Computer-->Properties-->Device Manager. Look under the serial port entry and you'll find the serial port bridge (if it installed correctly). Click on driver and then advanced and you can set the com port to the port you would like. You then set that corresponding serial port in your navigation software and the the receiver should work.

hey, do you know or have the actual name and link to the USB-serial port bridge???

i am currently experiencing this problem.

thanks...

I know this is goning to sound stupid, but is there any of these software packages that will actually tell you to Turn now, I am currently trying MS STreets and trips, adn it warns me about 1/4 of a mile in advance but then nothing else... I would like maybe a 100M warning or something

Any turn by turn nav program should give you a turn now indication. I know destinator does. Maybe there is a setting that needs to be changed.

Iguidance will zoom to your turn and have an audio confirmation. It also gives you an arrow that once you cross it, it bleeps to symbolize to turn NOW...

FYI - I have added some of this information to the FAQ in the navbar up at the top of the forums.

Thanks everyone for contributing information!
