Nope...not with the application itself. I prefer to use GPSPlus for MapPoint which can be found here: http://www.engo.com/mappointtoolbox/

It's not a bad application, but there are problems with the way MapPoint handles com ports, which means virtual com ports and USB com ports won't work right with it. There are a few threads here which address that situation.

This has got to be a new feature in the new SA...because it wasn't on SA9.0 which I bought last year. Sounds pretty cool, I must admit.

Admittedly, MP2k2's strong point is in the business analysis part of the program, which is how I did all the neat maps on my site from my wardrives. However, it lacks a lot of the telemetry items that Delorme can take home the trophy with.
