GPS Locator
When combined with the Streets and Trips software, the GPS Locator brings your
maps to life by displaying your exact current position and direction in an
integrated "GPS pane" that is part of the Streets and Trips interface.
The GPS unit also features GPS tracking and routing capabilities, which are
especially useful when you get off track from your pre-planned route.
Should you make a wrong turn, the GPS unit's "GPS trail" feature
leaves behind a virtual breadcrumb trail that shows you where you've been on
your map, and makes it easy to get back on track. You can also use the handy
"Re-route from here" command to quickly revise your directions and get
back on your way to your destination-- a great feature for folks who like to
take unexpected side trips.
The GPS Locator is designed to be easy to use with your laptop computer.
Simply plug the included GPS hardware receiver into your laptop's USB port and
you're set. If you already own a GPS receiver and want to use it with Streets
and Trips 2005, the software's configuration wizard can help you quickly
configure many third-party receivers. Because the GPS Locator has a modular
design, the unit is also designed to be compatible with other portable devices.
For instance, with proper accessories you can turn the unit into a wireless
Bluetooth receiver or a CompactFlash/PCMCIA connected receiver. This gives you
the flexibility to connect the GPS Locator to other mobile devices such as
Pocket PCs.
