I purchase Mappoint 2006 with the GPS-500 dongle. Well, I had the dongle suction cup on the passenger windows and rolled it down, cracking it. It's just the little device between the clear plastic chip and the cable.
Pharos wants $50 to ship a cable, dongle and CD, when all I need is the dongle.
All I am using Mappoint for is to identify my prospects. I'm not doing any programming or demographic studies.
Then I see S&T 2009. I like the new dongle design, but it looks like the consensus is that the old style GPS-500 is more sensitive. Plus S&T 2009 is $75 bucks...
Question is:
1) Can I import data from Mappoint 2006 into S&T 2009?
2) Is the new dongle design any better than the old?
3) Can you upgrade the maps in Mappoint 2006 and if so at what cost?
Seems that S&T 2009, for $75 bucks, I'd get updated maps, drivers and the dongle I'm after.
Anyone know where I can get just that little black device?

Hi roadwarrior,
Welcome to Laptop GPS World.
1. Try to open both programs, and try to copy & paste your pushpin sets from MapPoint to Streets and Trips.
2. Some more info may be found in the review. But you could keep it simple, and order just a receiver, such as BU-353 by Globalsat.
3. New MapPoint 2009 is I think around US $275
