• 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.

Need help...

I can not get GPSGate to work with Windows 7, 64 bit. Everything looks good except no other devices can see the GPS data on the virtual com ports.

GPS is working....
GPSGate sees the GPS....

Everything was so easy on VISTA....

Hi, Jeff

I've had several applications that didn't work in Wíndows 7 64-bit.
But I managed to work around the problem with this smart feature.
Windows virtual pc. You can download it from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/default.aspx

I don't know, if it works with GPS-Gate, but you could always try. However I did get GPS-gate to work on my laptop with win 7 64-bit without Windows virtual pc, but not wothout a lot of trial and errors.

I've had a smooth time with it (delorme, SN, with a BU353) . If needed, I've got a guy that can help (via team viewer if necessary).

What programs, GPS device are you using, trying to use?
 
With the 64 bit Operating Systems Microsoft appended (x86) to the programe location path - this has caused quite a few issues over the years as programmes written pre 64bit just dont undertsand the (x86) bit.

Would have been better to use (x64) fot 64 bit programme paths and leave the 32bit one alone!
 
Fixed the problem by removing the program and reinstalling and moving the driver to the correct folder. Only took 12 hrs.....jeez.

Thanks everyone,

Jeff
