Re: GPS on Pismo

[B Gardner]

Joe, I have an Aluminum PB G4 that I would like to use Street Atlas and 
GPS. I had been using a Wallstreet and it was working well but I keep 
getting the same dialog when I try to use the GPS in Street Atlas. It 
says there are no serial ports available.  Duh!!

Can I use GPSy somehow? Do you have any suggestions how I can configure 
the PB?

Thanks,
Byron

Subject: GPS on Pismo

Has anyone been using GPS and Map software on their powerbook? I'm
interested in trying it
but would like to know of experiences of others who may be using it. 
Any
opinions or suggestions
are welcome. Happy Holidays to All

I use a Garmin eTrex GPS receiver and two applications, one called 
GPSy and
Delorme's Street Atlas on my Pismo and it works fine. My only 
complaint is
that I have to use Classic mode. Delorme refuses to make an OS X 
version of
their software.

I just heard about one called Route 66 2004 that will be out in 
January; I
intend to get it and the OS X update of GPSy and try them next year. 
The
GPSy web site has info on cables, adapters and other things you may 
need you
can check it out here:http://www.gpsy.com

Last year a group of us rented a house in the Poconos for the NASCAR 
Pocono
500. Although one of the group had been there the year before, I asked 
for
the address and used my Pismo to track our route. As it turned out, we 
got
seperated from the other 3 cars in the caravan but since I had the 
address
and the GPS; we got to the house 45 minutes ahead of anyone else. Now 
my
buddies don't give me quite as bad a time about my geekiness.
