GPS Software Download Pages

Updated 1130 Tuesday 5th January 2010 UK time

if you have a possible business interest in GPS , please visit the business page first.
You will need a mobile PC and a GPS. No GPS ? then see the GPS advice page.
You may wish to visit the simple introduction to GPS Navigation with GPSS
Having problems doing or understanding anything ? then see the Problems ? page.

Please follow these simple steps 1,2,3,4 :

Step 1. download and test the GPS Software with a GPS. GPSS will give a demonstration.
Run GPSS on a Laptop with a GPS and it should show your GPS position on a World map.
Note your lat/lon displayed by GPSS. e.g. 453095N0754595W. Note the Ctrl-R Form details.
Over 100 people download GPSS each day. See from what country they download.
Step 2. Send Robin the Quiz Answers Robin will answer with free key codes, tips such as what mapping to add, and a REF line for you to give in future emails. Robin will then answer your questions and/or discuss business, use of GPSS, etc.
Few of those who download, register. If numbers increased, we might make the Quiz more difficult :-)

Step 3. Use tips from Robin - to add more maps and sounds. e.g. street level detail on maps; voice guidance in your language; switching GPSS to remote tracking over GSM or other communications. You may also read more tips.
Step 4. give June and Robin 20 GBP to remove Snoopy forever :-)
The free key code in step 2 only lasts 6 months on one PC. GPSS and GPSSppc suport "superkeys" matched to the users name, for any PC and for an unlimited time period. See "Why is Snoopy so annoying ?" in the simple introduction here. Don't feel bad about not paying for GPSS. Very few "GPS enthusiast" users ever do pay for it :-)

Step 1: download and test the GPS Software with a GPS.

This is for GPSS on a full Windows Laptop (e.g. XP or Vista), and/or GPSSPPC for a Pocket PC running Windows Mobile.
The download includes GPSS.EXE, GPSSPPC.EXE and the baseline files such as sounds and a non-detailed World map.
YOU USE GPSS AT YOUR OWN RISK - INCLUDING HAVING ACCIDENTS OR GETTING LOST !
YOU MAY NOT USE GPSS FOR BUSINESS WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ROBIN LOVELOCK.

Please tell Robin on gpss@compuserve.com of any problems.
If you have problems, see the Problems ? page.
e.g. the old method, since 1997, of downloading GPSSA.EXE
Over 100 people download GPSS each day. See from what country they download.

when you have your GPSS folder of files ...

run GPSS.EXE from full Windows to see a demonstration of what GPSS can do.
write a CD or DVD to transfer the folder to your Laptop PC with GPS.
run GPSS.EXE on the Laptop PC with GPS to use GPSS "for real".
Activesync the folder onto your Pocket PC before running GPSSPPC.EXE - also see here.

Step 2: QUIZ - answer Robin's questions, then you get free support

This "quiz" is needed for business users and for free support. i.e. Robin answering your emailed questions.
Robin will reply with tips, such as what mapping to add, the six people nearest you on the email links pages, and a REF line for you to include in future emails to Robin on gpss@compuserve.com (on the contact page), and a free key code lasting 6 months.
Robin makes no promise here, but for years he has been re-issueing free key codes every 6 months to those who did the Quiz and remembered their REF that he gave them. i.e. you should only need to do the Quiz once, if you remember your REF.
You can read all about Robin and the Lovelock family on their family pages - so don't be shy with your Quiz answers :-)
Before you answer the Quiz, you should have GPSS or GPSSppc responding to a GPS. The software should be running on a mobile PC such as a Laptop or Pocket PC based GPS. You will need to collect the following information before you answer the Quiz:

the latitude longitude displayed by GPSS or GPSSppc with the GPS working. e.g. 512382N0003960W
the version number of GPSS and or GPSSppc being used. e.g. v5.5 or v5c.
if you want a key code for GPSS, the Ctrl-R details, explained at end of problems page.

Step 4: give June and Robin 20 GBP to remove Snoopy forever :-)

Don't feel bad about not paying for GPSS. Very few "GPS enthusiast" users do :-)
You may send 20 GBP to gpss@compuserve.com via www.paypal.com to get a GPSS superkey. This is twenty pounds Sterling, or approximately 29 USD or 23 Euro. We only need your full name and email address. The superkey will work in GPSS and GPSSppc on any PC and for an unlimited time period. It makes the software start up with your name, instead of UNREGISTERED, and removes Snoopy. Please make sure that you are already happy with the software and mapping. Your money will be very welcome here because it will help offset the cost of supporting GPSS and may even buy us a meal out :-)
