• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Does Stormtrack keep any archives? I've been having a bit of trouble with my notebook computer related to the USB ports, and have to reconfig to another port using GPSGate Delorme, etc - to share ports. In an old post I detailed the method I used. Right now I can't figure out how I configured Gpsgate to use a particular hardware USB/Com port - but I'm thinking it must have been configured using Delorme's USB to Serial driver - but I can't find that either. My old instructs would explain it I believe. Anyone know of the archive or the old thread discussion on this subject?
 
Here is one for Delorme.....

The way I do it is, start street atlas first and get a signal, then right click the emulator and hit "ports." Configure all ports to NMEA....I have Com 2, 5, and 6.

If you have your emulator on "Auto-Start", make sure it's stopped, because it seems to screw everything up and not work.

Then hit "Start" on the emulator, go into GR3 (or wherever) hit start GPS. I use Com 5 for it, and then do the same for Spotter network (Com 6).

I had to mess around with my USB ports to find the right one, because it won't work unless I have my GPS on the USB port on the back of my laptop.
