BTW, a friend of mine bought the Dell GPS software and hardware package when he bought his x51 and seems to be pretty pleased with it. I kinda wonder if maybe you are having a setup problem, possibly because of the GPSGate program that is built into the x51, and you just haven't gotten to anyone that can configure it properly yet.

I don't think I'd be much help because I haven't played with the software, but I'd recommend turning off the GPSGate program, unless you need the GPS data to go to multiple programs.

Dell sold me an incompatible system (Bluetooth GPS Navigation System). I bought it from a sales associate on their order line.

The Axim also doesn't recognise the GPS as a GPS device, just a Bluetooth device.

I've read that Pharos is horrible! Please someone help me. It doesn't seem that anyone at Dell can. I'm on the phone for the third time as I am writing this post. I want to return the whole thing and buy something that works.

Microsoft streets 2006 is on the way-delivery Thurs.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
