I find it interesting that in the Amazon link Wes posted they show a inverter in the Frequently Bought Together section. A must have for chasing IMO ...
 
Hey guys,

I also have a Garmin nuvi255 and plan to run gps in GRlevel3. If I'm reading it right all I need is to get GPSgate and they should all work together?

This will be on a 64 bit windows 7 laptop. I actually picked up the e-machines laptop that someone else posted here since it will be used only for chasing so I didn't want to spend too much.

Also, since connecting the gps to the computer would take the usb output of the garmin, would it still charge through the computer?

If I did that setup, would I also be able to use the garmin normally?

TIA!

alright i have received 2008 streets and maps with gps. i found a link online of a forum on tornadovideos.net that discussed how to get streets and maps with the gps and using the usb gps with grlevel3. they talked about using the free download of XPort. this is a program that's supposed to be similar to gpsgate. i have downloaded and followed the instructions and it appears to be running fine. however with grlevel3 when i start the gps function nothing happens on the radar screen. am i needing to do anything, like download a shapefile or something?! i've included the links i looked at. thanks in advance for any further help!!
