I was wondering what GPS works with Threatnet. Any suggestions? I have street and trips with gps but im guessing that don't work with it
Thanks

Most any GPS including the streets and trips. If your going to run a GPS with streets and WxWorx you will need to use the delorme emulator so you can assign the GPS to multiple ports. You also have to have the mapping software that goes with Threatnet.

I have used my "Streets of" GPS unit with my mapping software, WxWorx, Spotternet, and GR3 all at the same time.

I bought one off of amazon. I use it for threatnet, grlevel3, spotter network, and streets and trips, and it works great, to run multiple apps at once I also would recomend gps gate, its not too expensive and easy to use.

I bought an older version of streets and trips with GPS on ebay for $20. The GPS works well with GRLevel3

So I have Delorme mapping software. Are you saying I can overlay Threat Nets radar on that rather than the mapping software it came with? Does anyone have pictures of how it looks?

The DeLorme Serial Emulator is only for DeLorme GPS pucks. It converts their proprietary data stream into a NMEA compliant GPS data stream.

Franson GPS Gate is the software package that allows you to use one GPS puck with more than one piece of software.

BTW, the Microsoft puck is a Pharos SIRF Star III unit that is NMEA compliant. Which is the long way of saying that it will work with Mobile Threatnet. If you are not running anything else, then you can just use the GPS directly with Mobile Threatnet. If you are going to run anything else that requires a GPS signal, you willl need this.

No. Threatnet has its own mapping software. You cant overlay its radar onto other mapping software. All you can do is use the emulator to allow the GPS unit to be used for both programs at the same time. I have run up to 4 programs at once using 1 GPS puck.
