Cheap GPS/MS Streets & Trips info December 10, 2004, 06:59:24 pm Yahoo Message Number: 47623You can use MS S&T with a GPS receiver. See the MS site or "google" it. I recently bought the 2005 MS S&T and chose the software only option, since I already had a Garmin. They also have S&T with GPS receiver for $120 or so and the GPS receiver can be bought separately for about $75. I/my eyes would like GPS with the 15" screen; I will order the receiver option when I figure how to handle the laptop on the road. Total cost under $150.

I like the big screen though on my HP, BUT it's taking a few falls, being perched upon an ice chest with one of those rubber-type pads to help it not slide. Not good for the PC, but what's a non-handywoman to do! Does anybody have a solution (not the guy with the really nice one he built!:) ) Hmmm, maybe a wood box with those TV grips or something. Any ideas on this?Streets & Trips would be much more accurate I'm sure, than co- Pilot. So I'm glad I know that now!Rose...gettin' ready to RambleQuoteYou can use MS S&T with a GPS receiver.
