Yes, I am a complete newbie on GPS. Hopefully I can find an answer here where there is none in Microsoft Streets. I've installed the software on my home computer. How do I install the GPS on my Dell x51v? What ports does it run on? I purchased the package with Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007 with a CF card, what do I need for my Dell PDA? Do I need Pcoket Streets?

MS S&T does not run on the Dell. You need Pocket Streets, and MS quit bundling it a couple of versions ago. You may find it somewhere on the 'net to download. But even then you won't get most of the features of S&T.

As for the GPS, the quickest way to find it on your X51v is to use a utility from one of the vendors. Haicom and Holux (Google for them) have downloads of free utility software that will search all ports for GPS data and then report what it found. Put your CF Card in the Ax, fire up the software, let it look and then use what it reports.

There are reports that the ROM versions prior to A12 have issues with CF GPS receivers. You can search here for those threads. I don't have a 51, so I can't provide more than that, sorry.
