I just got my old tripmate working with NetStumbler (old and new version)

You need to modify the Delorme Tripmate to output standard NMEA compatible code. You can do this simply with 2 small wires, and a soldering iron.

Follow the instructions here:

I found them last nite, upgraded my tripmate in 10 minutes, and also added a switch so I can turn the unit off and on without pulling it apart. You can still use the tripmate in Street Atlas USA by selecting Standard/generic NMEA from the list of GPS units. Saved me $150 by moifying my old tripmate, vs. buying a new GPS unit just to get the NMEA.

Happy Stumblin!
