  1. I understand that both can send data to a PC. My question is
    do they continuously send data? Microsoft Streets map
    program, and others for that matter, just listen for
    Lat/Long input and show a dot at that location. Currently on
    my way to most races: I'm steering, watching the laptop map,
    watching for signs, talking on the cell, carbo-loading,
    dancing around detours, and explaining to the wife that
    we're not lost(wink-wink). I wouldn't mind writing an app
    myself that monitored the comm-port and moved a pushpin
    around on the map program. I would just like to know if
    anybody has tried this before I make a $100+ guess.

  2. I can get a route into MicroSoft Streets and Trips, but only
    as a Comma Delimited File (.cvs). This also takes some prior
    massaging in Excell and is not real time. Try the Yahoo
    Forerunner group, below is the link. There are tons of gizmo
    geeks with limited social skills who still live with their
    parents in that group that can answer your question.
