I am planning on using GRL3 for chasing on my N10J netbook, and it fortunately runs like a dream with my data card. However, my old (big) laptop got dropped, so I can't get it booted up to steal my old placefiles. I've forgotten which ones to grab, where they are, and how to install them.
If you want to know what I would like, just lead me to the files you have. I would call the following necessary:
*At least a half-decent map system in case I can get the GPS thingy to work with my laptop (see below)
*Surface conditions with barbs, etc. updated hourly so I can keep up with changing situations.
*Spotter reports.
*Spotter network so I can see where everyone is, follow them, and pretend I did it all myself
(J/K I would actually use this on the street level to make sure I'm not all by myself in a dangerous position, particularly after dark when I can't see, since I'm still a newb)
*SPC update outline
*All other goodies/improvements you may have.
I will need to know where to ... place the place files. I remember it being easy, but I can't remember how to do it and I can't find help on the grlx website.
Also, is it possible to put my TomTom unit into a USB port and have the GPS show up on GRL3? I would love to know how to do this from anyone who has experience with TomTom units, if they in fact CAN work in this manner with GRL3.
Finally, any GR2AE placefiles/GPS advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
