It should work with any NMEA 2.0 serial GPS device. I've yet to test it with my BTGPS unit but in theory no problem.

Attach the unit, connect in Autoroute & off you go.

Autoroute/Mappoint are pretty accurate. Other options available, such as Infomap or Personal Navigator, but the MS offering is probably the best currently IMHO.

I use it a lot with a Garmin etrex GPS and it works fine. The MS interface is miles better than the software that comes with the gps

I heard that the gps is only updated every 15seconds? anyway to "fix" it so it updates every second like route66?
