![]() ![]() I know that can be done with Bluetooth through a hack (use the developer mode, and a special app, to read the GPS and give the device a "mock position"). So a solution for Windoze, Linux or Mac OS would work.Īn alternative solution would be a way to send position from an external GPS to my Android tablet or phone. That's how I have run Delorme the last couple of years. I run a Macbook Pro in the car, but can run Windows 10 or Linux as a VM. ![]() I've been looking for alternatives without much success. Since Garmin bought the company, they killed off the product as far as I know - no more updates - the latest is 2015. My magnetic mounted roof GPS has avoids that problem, because it has a much broader view.īut, Delorme is getting long of tooth. ![]() This is because the sky view for them is limited because they are inside the car, and storms block part of the sky. Since the device knows where I am, then the cognitive time suck of tracking the position on paper maps is greatly reduced.Īlso, I have seen large position errors from my mobile devices when near strong storms - as much as ten miles. I have used Delorme Street Maps for real-time navigation during chases for nearly 20 years. I have found it very useful to be have a mapping solution that shows my exact position on the road network, out in the field on minor roads. ![]()
