Street Atlas also has a 'night mode', under the view options you can set the map to use high contrast colors which sets a black background that is much easier on the eyes at night. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but I know there is a lot more going on in Street Atlas than there is Streets and Trips. Street Atlas also has a slew of annotation features which can also be exported.

Sure the GPS shouldn't have sent that point/timestamp, but at the same time a software developer should be validating the data coming in and handling invalid data so that the entire file isn't corrupted. I contacted the author about it and he shifted the blame onto the GPS device.

You have to manually find the line and remove it. If the GPS device sends an erroneous point or timestamp, the entire GpsGate log is invalid.

Sure GpsGate does logging, and I definitely run that as well, but its more difficult to make maps out of the logs and its buggy. It will log the entire trip, and then you can export that log as a drawing file to make custom maps out of to supplement your chase logs. The biggest one, and the reason that I use Street Atlas over Streets and Trips is GPS logging. Street Atlas has an outdated interface, however, it also has several features that Streets and Trips lacks. Just wanted to pass this info along for anyone looking for a different option. For anyone interested in breaking out of the norm, I think you will be very satisfied. This is the better mousetrap for me and will be a solid piece of chase gear from here forward. Using GPS gate (which would not work with the proprietary Delorme LT-40 puck I had), I can easily connect SN, GR3 & MS Streets & Trips with no issues and still have two COM's left over to apply to other mapping-intensive programs should I wish.

A short trip to Best Buy and $79.99 later, all the headaches I have had over the past three years with GPS splitting and dealing with Delorme maps lack of a reasonable navigation menu was gone! No more serial emulator too!

I did a bit of research on Microsoft Streets and Trips on 'other' forums and learned the packaged software with the MS GPS-500 USB puck will work flawlessly with Franson GPS Gate. I've always found it to be rather unresponsive and cumbersome as a program and the serial emulator released a few years back has been the biggest turd of a program I have ever had the mis-fortune of trying to configure and use. I'm not sure exactly why, other than everyone else used it so there seemed to be a good knowledge-base here on ST. For years I have used Delorme products for mapping during chases.
