Can I use a Microsoft Pharos GPS on Tablet PC?

I successfully installed the driver, however, it is loaded to Com 4.
Microsoft Sheets and Maps can not find 4, only Com 3. Any suggestions? The
GPS works Fine on my desktop computer with same configuration.

It should work without problem (I use it when I need to).

Did you go through the configuration screens? It should pick up the GPS on
Com4

Re: Can I use a Microsoft Pharos GPS on Tablet PC?

I'm attempting to make Streets & Trips 2007 touch-screen friendly (with a
little add-on). Here are three screenshots:

It's still in "Beta" stage, but feel free to download it and give it a try.
Scroll down to the download area, and make sure you download the "Beta"
version (not the "Final release" version:

Feedback would be appreciated as I was mostly unable to properly test it in
conjunction with a touch-screen. I only have a 600 MHz TabletPC, and the CPU
is inadequate to run it satisfactorily, so most of the testing was done on a
faster machine with a mouse :-(

Re: Can I use a Microsoft Pharos GPS on Tablet PC?

I finally got it to work after mucking about with microsoft's device
management. I also forgot to mention that I had a Palm T/X hooked up as well,
so that was using the port. Thanks for the input.
