Help on GPS SOFT

dafook · 01-23-2006, 11:10 PM

Hey.. new to forum.. but long time reader...

Anyways.. I have the street atlas + GPS by delorme.. as you know the street atlas isnt really TOUCH SCREEN friendly due to small font.. I've read post bout map monkey etcc... but was wondering if i can use same GPS? I've tried to use street n trips, but that did not work. Question... Anyone using the delrome GPS with a different software? Thanks in advance.

Oh... I did a search.. found a few post that helps.. but more input the merrier.

Tip:

Search BEFORE posting a question, not AFTER.

I was a newbie once, don't you become a n00b.

This ought to be enough for starters. I searched for "delorme serial" and found 138 threads.

to answer my own question... for those who might need to know the answer too... Just gotta go to delormes webpage and download the SERIAL EMULATOR. This "should" get you NEMA compliant so that it "will" work with most gps software.

Is this what dafook you are talking about? http://delorme.com/support/gps/lt20001.asp

dafook · 01-24-2006, 04:03 AM

Yup.. looking for a software still to test it out.. should work.

Also they mentioned if it produces "NEMA" then it should work with most software. Now i just have to figure out if my usb delorme gps unit is NEMA certified or wahtever..

Thanks for your attempted help Gizmo.

Not to be harsh, but the reason there are so many search results is 100 more people like you. They all ask a similiar question and didn't search nearly hard enough for the answer so they all started a new thread. Maybe we ought to get the mods to delete the redundant threads once the n00bs get pointed in the right direction.

Naw, why make them work harder.

But seriously folks, a lot of them get unanswered cause we're getting tired of answering the same question over and over. MP3Car has a FAQ Emporium that pretty much covers anything and everything including advanced searches throughout the board. Please learn keyword searching and when you have a specific question not addressed elswhere (NOT LIKELY) then post. I've found that if you can find a thread that's close and ask someone whose posted in that thread, they're usually quite helpful.

Good Luck

I ran through those..and my answer wasn't even answered.. most of the post are a variation of my question... so it wasn't really a noob question.

pip · 01-24-2006, 10:51 AM

Yes it was a noob question, and that information is in several threads I've read. I needed the same information over a year ago, I found the threads & got my quesions answered. I guess you need to hone your searching skills a bit more.

Hey Noob, know your place. How dare you make a comment like that about someone. An ***?? You are the *** for coming into the library, and standing on the table asking WHERE IS THERE A BOOK ABOUT DOGS?
Go to the ******* card catalog and look it up your damn self. Who the **** do you think we are, your personal information center or librarien.

The answer is here, on this forum, in the threads that were posted. You don't have the time to read them, too ******* bad. The reason there are 100 **** results is because of asses like you that post the same crap over and over and over again. If instead of posting this simple question, just like all the other noobs who think that they deserve a personel advisor, you would have searched and found the answer, only 99 other useless threads would have turned up. Get the point. Of, and those other 99 threads probably all said "Search" you think that might have given you a clue that the answer is in the forum somewhere. Instead, you think that we all owe you an answer for something, unlike all the other noobs who just got a "search" instead of the answer.

Learn how to search. No one here works for you, or is your personel assistant. We hate being asked the same question over and over and over again, and then, when like in the library we tell you to look in the card catalog, look in the damn card catalog, which if you are too dense to understand, is the search function. It never ceases to amaze me at how selfish people are, thinking that they are inventing the wheel. Trust me, at this stage in the game, nothing you can think off has not been tried, and either failed or succeeded, before. That is just a fact.

Only 9 minutes had elapsed between the time when you, the "long time reader," posted your initial question and found the answer yourself. Sounds like you really wasted countless hours there, buddy.
