4.0

WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you select the Area Locator Map in a standalone installation of Microsoft Automap Streets, version 4.0, while using the GPS Enabler and Trimble Mobile GPS, you receive the following error message:

Failure Sending Location Update to Automap

After you cancel the error message, the GPS Enabler does not function and the GPS position symbol is not in the correct location (it is often found in British Columbia). You must restart both Automap Streets and the Trimble Mobile GPS to restore GPS functionality.

= CAUSE =

The Area Locator Map is not supported by the GPS Enabler in a standalone installation of Microsoft Automap Streets.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you install Microsoft Automap Road Atlas and Microsoft Automap Streets into the same directory, this problem does not occur when you use the Area Locator Map to switch between the two programs.
