i do know that i had manage gps checked. i did have the gps icon showing and was using it. as to using livesearch at the same time i did only for a short time but most of the time i didnt have it running so i find it unlikely as the culprit.
Once i get the dang program loaded i will try those settings again tho i think i had those all set that way at one time as i played with it for almost all day. my problem now is that i cant get it installed on my phone even when i used another computer.....it told me installation unsuccessful. semsons told me they would give me just the applet for the wm5 ppc but they havent sent it yet and i am getting nervous. luckily once i get the app on the phone and assuming i can get the app to see my gps i should be good to go on the maps since i left them on the phone when upgrading to 3.01.

i checked all the programs folders for remnants and no love. i also checked the application data and there were no leftover files there that would keep it from installing a fresh copy......but this doesnt explain why the installation failed on my laptop and why it wouldnt allow me to try another install. thoughts?

any chance anyone can send me the applet(just the cab files for 3.1......i have the maps and the part installed on my laptop at least)? i would have thought the two cab files included in the setup install of the disc would work but they didnt when i tried installing those. i would really appreciate some help here since i am leaving in a day or two and would love to see my money i spent on this go to good use.

Semsons seems to think i will need to roll back my computer but i am not sure i have a save point going back to a day or two ago and i just formatted my computer.....they think the registry is corrupted and thus the reason for seeing that there are files left when looking at add/remove and thus not allowing for a fresh install onto my computer and phone. thanks so much for any help. !!!!

i also seem to be hearing so many different things about which com port and which baud rate to use. (many keep saying 38400 but i think i only have something close (33600)and not that exact number in the gps app on the xv6700, maybe it is bc they are using what they have on their pda but maybe they dont have a phone ppc).

normally i would be able to run the cabs from activesync but i cant seem to find them leftover, if anyone is positive they will work and i am just missing them please tell me where to find the cabs from the initial installs....i would even take a 3.0 cab at this point bc i have to have something to drive from VA to utah with.
