Volks,

Just got off the phone with MS Support.

Turns out the new Delorme USB Earthmate USB GPS Receiver I have is
incompatible with MS Streets & Trips 2003.

Here's the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B177386

The following GPS devices are incompatible with the Microsoft programs
DeLorme Earthmate
DeLorme Tripmate*
Sony SkyMap
Rand McNally 1225B-R1
Pharos StreetsNav
GPS Haicom HI-202e

Since MS Streets & Trips seems to be about the only GPS software with
Canadian Maps .... I'll be looking to purchase a
compatible USB GPS Receiver.

So far I have turned up two units that claim compatibility:

Rayming TN-200 USB port GPS Receiver Model - RY200

DeluoT Navigation Kit: USB GPS for Laptop with Rand McNally
StreetFinderR

duct_Code=GPSU&Category_Code=GR

BTW .. Amazon currently has MS Streets & Trips 2003 for $9.99

If anyone has hands on experience with either of these units .. Pls let
m know.
