Hi all
Just noticed (as scojohara rang me about it) that the live gps tracking on your laptop using your gps seems to have been removed from the metroguide software??
Anyone have any ideas here?

I have just uninstalled all of metroguide and reinstalled and checked v4. Was all good, then I installed the v6 upgrade and that is when the GPS tab disappears. I am back to running v4 maps which is a shame as they are not as good.

nRoute can be d/l from
