Speaking of Delorme's support ------ I just went through my e-mails and
found one that I got from Delorme about six weeks ago saying that  MS
Streets and Trips "should" work with the Earthmate.................I think
we can agree that it indeed "should'.............to bad it doesn't. I'm
going to send the e-mail back to them along with Larry's
link..........maybe a snide remark or two, who knows :-)

Cheers,
Doug

I called Delorme today to ask if they knew of any Canadian map program
that would connect to an EarthMate.
The guy said no, but he sounded like a sub, meaning not a DeLorme
employee but part of a call center.
