One last note: I did not see very good tools for auto-generating a Route between points, but maybe I need to test this more. I can definitely imagine using the command line downloader to build me a detailed map of Birmingham so I have a functional GPS while I get familiar with the area. I decided to come to Birmingham to look for work after finishing college. So far, I'm actually pleased with the results and the program worked as described. I had previously made it a point to make it grab important details on the Birmingham area which it did hold for later. I drove all the way from Michigan to Birmingham, Alabama. I mostly used this during the beginning of my trip and especially at the end. It also has a command line downloader where you can tell it to grab the map tiles from a specific city.
Microsoft streets and trips 2014 with gps how to#
This solved a problem I wasn't sure how to workout with Foxtrot. Right click on the program icon > Properties > Compatibility tab > Check Run this program in compatibility mode for > Choose the right OS say Win 7. However, you can try to run this in compatibility mode and see whether it works or not. If you preview the key areas of your trips or use download options, it can save or "cache" the mapping areas you used so you can use them again later offline. Microsoft support forum has many posts regarding working of this on Windows 10 and people were not successful. It has to pull that info from places like OpenStreetMaps while online. Unlike Streets and Trips, it does not come with full zoomable map.
The other important side to this program is the mapping. This allowed the program to use my old Microsoft Streets & Trips sensor and got me GPS tracking. I just typed mapcatcher to start it from the terminal and configured the settings to use Gpsd. Gmapcatcher was not in the repos, but on their site I found a Deb file to install from. with Crunchbang running, I installed GPSD from the repos which is just a daemon that keeps up communication with the GPS device. Instead, I used to available hardware space to put Crunch Bang on here which is my favorite standby OS and I used it before with Foxtrot. User rating, 4 out of 5 stars with 39 reviews. I figure there was an obscure package that needed to be installed. Garmin - DriveSmart 66 6' GPS with Built-In Bluetooth, Map Updates and Traffic Updates - Black. I had some strange hardware detection setting this up in Arch Linux.
