• 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.

Hello all,

Does anyone know if its possible to buy a Delorme GPS Unit Earthmate LT-40 or similar new versions in a regular store? I somehow lost the device, have no idea how it happened. Though I have a Street Atlas installed already on my laptop. I would just stop at BestBuy for example and buy it. Any chance? As I am not an US citizen, I am unable to order it online and ship to a motel, as it takes few days and we don't know where our chases will end.

Or if possible, could you advice which GPS unit to grab in a store (Wallmart, BestBuy, etc.) that can be used for Delorme Street Atlas and SpotterNetwork/GrLevel3 at the same time (splitting with GPS Gate).

thank you very much!

Marko
 
Since you are replacing, and given the problems that DeLorme units cause with newer and 64 bit OS's like Windows 7, my advice would be to pick up a Microsoft (Pharos) unit bundled with Streets and Trips. That way when you upgrade your laptop you won't have issues. DeLorme's serial emulator does not work at all in Windows 7/64 bit, therefore it can't communicate with GPSGate.

That said, I'm not sure about Walmart, but I know Best Buy carries it. A computer store like MicroCenter would carry it also.
