• 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.

Have Delorme Earthmate GPS LT-40 hooked up to Lenovo laptop. Worked great with GR3and Vista. Then changed OS to Vista Professional and now it won't pick up a signal. Any ideas on how to get this to work. Only com port it offers me is Com3. TIA.
 
I have an LT-40 also, and it sits in a drawer collecting dust. My opinion is that you would be better off to get a NMEA compliant USB GPS puck and forgo the Delorme offering and their proprietary serial emulator software. My life became MUCH EASIER when I stopped using mine and got a Globalsat BU-353 and a couple of Microsoft GPS pucks.

Here is a good buy for around $20 for a two year old version. It includes this GPS unit that sells for almost $50 by itself.

But to address your question directly, do you have the latest version of Delorme Serial Emulator for your version of Windows? If you do, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Here is a link to the updated product.

Good luck!
