Hi Nathan
I found something out maybe it could help. Found out that I needed to completely delete 2.0.7 in order for 2.0.8 to work properly. When overlap 2.0.8 would not Get a GPS device detection for my HP 6515. But when I un install 2.0.7 plus all of microsoft programs included with it.Then install 2.0.8 everything started working great. But again had to do a clean install.
Great program
Jerry

It works now on my MIO!!!!!! I unchecked the share the "manage gps automatically" box to get it to work, but when I went back it was checked. Thank you so much and I will purchase it today. One last question. Anyway to download the maps and transfer to my PDA since this would probably be faster? john

I'm glad to see that it has worked. I'm not completely sure why uninstalling and reinstalling is helpful to some, but I'll leave it here as a troubleshooting tip while I find out.

A BackCounty Navigator PC Edition is a highly requested feature, but it is not ready at this time. We'll be able to put some time into it after we get through some other map downloading improvements.

For now, the fastest place to download maps is usually in the cradle. You also don't incur phone charges there for a pocket pc phone.
