GRlevel3 MAPS

[Walt VanRheen]

So, I am a newb to GRlevel3. I have my GPS working, along with GPSgate, and Microsoft Streets and Trips 2009. All is working correctly.

I have read through the tutorial on loading Tiger maps, county by county, state by state, and it seems to be a real pain.

My Streets and Trips 2009 should be much more current than Tigers 2000 census files.

I can see my location on both GRlevel3 and Streets &Trips by toggling back and forth, is installing the tiger maps really necessary? Both application will stay centered on my GPS location. It also seems that one would want the Streets zoomed in for a better detail, while the GRlevel3 is zoomed out for better reference to the storm.

Thoughts?

Personally, I've never chased with the Tiger maps... and I've done just fine.

I suppose if you didn't have a port splitter like GPSgate, it'd be more of a necessity.... but as is... Streets and Trips is always going to be a better navigational tool and I always run it.

Exactly, I have them in my GR files but never use them. No point if you have mapping software anyway.

thanks guys, I was NOT looking forward to downloading all of those files, and then Managing them to boot. Would have been MANY MANY hours.

What OS do you use? I still can not get my GPS to work with GrLevel3. It gives me only a couple COM port choices. It give 3, 8 & 9 while my GPS is com29.

Move your com port down in range. Also, many port emulators allo you to choose what ports you want to use.

How do you do that? Thanks
