    Reading the other post, that seems to answer the getting from A to B program as far as GPS goes.

    If you want GPS software that loads maps and can link to a GPS receiver to show where you are, and of course to track your journey, then Memory Map is a good choice.

    Another alternative for those in Europe is Quo V2 ( www.mapyx.com).

    What com ports are showing now?
    Download and run GPS info
    http://www.usglobalsat.com/downloads/GPSinfo.zip
    Baud rate should be 4800 , and if you have several com ports ,don't try using com 1 as com 1 is the legacy 9 pin serial port on the toughbook

    Hey Alex thanks for the help. Can get a fix when i put my hand under the GPS antenna. But it seems the antenna is faulty, was chatting to a friend and he says the antenna is goosed. Do you know anywhere I can get my hands on one.
