Good day all, I think there is a separate thread on this but I am not sure (Mods, you can move / merge this one if necessary). I have a new Windows 7 (64 Bit) notebook and just about every program I got works flawlessly (even the ones that did not in the 'Vista nightmare' last year). I have Delorme Street Atlas 2009 with the LT-40 USB puck.

The system works fine with GPS and such. The serial emulator does not, it won't install and tells me 'you cannot use this with a 64 bit OS'. I checked Delorme's site, and I only see the 32 bit version (it even says 'not for use with 64 bit Windows' on the download driver page for the serial emulator).
Any thoughts? Yes, I checked GPS Gate, but that does not seem to have anything for Delorme USB pucks (just Garmin and such). This was the ONLY snag I had with Win 7, which pretty much affects the use of GRLevel3 with GPS (I cannot use the serial emulator). Chris, This post on the Franson support forum provides details on what you need to do if you have a 64 bit system: I also have a priority code I could send you through a PM if you are interested that I received from Delorme a couple of days ago via e-mail, so you can get a discount on the BT-20 puck (let me know). Renee Olstead 2004 Rar. I've been using my BT-20 for three years and it works beautifully together with Street Atlas and GPSGate. I'm on 32 bit Vista Ultimate, but I think with the driver link above it just might solve your issue. The USB version (LT-40) has known issues with GPSGate per this post: Since the serial emulator won't work on 64 bit systems you are SOL as far as I know with your current configuration.
Another thread that sheds quite a bit of light on this subject can be found here: Just let me know if you want to buy the BT-20 and I'll PM you the discount code. I ran across this problem as well. Delorme says they arent considering upgrading to allow win 7 64 bit to work with their emulator. I had a Globalsat BU-353 recommended to me and it works great. It installed fine but I did have to copy a file into windows/system 32 to get gpsgate to work (gpsgate said to do it). It actually is so much better not having to deal with that stupid delorme emulator. I have gps gate running in the background and within just a few seconds of plugging in the gps its working (without doing anything more than plugging it in!).

Installed the Delorme SA 2010, and configured the BT-20 puck / chanrged it. The BT recognized it right away, and assigned COM40 to it. I found out that by changing the existing RIM com ports 3-4 to 18 and 19, and re-acquiring the BT-20 and using COM4 instead of COM40, GrlevelX can connect to it using COM4. Without using GPSGate!
The GPSGate comes into play when you want to use the SAME BT-20 puck for Delorme AND GRLevelX. I installed GPSGate (with the copy the file C: Program Files (x86) Franson GpsGate 2.0 x64 bizVSerialNT.sys to C: Windows System32 Drivers). In GPSGate settings, ZI select the COM4 as the input, and COM1 and COM2 as the outputs, one to GRLevelX and the other to Delorme. What are these 'RIM' com ports that use the lower 3 and 4 ports?
I always wind up changing them to higher port numbers, as GRLevelX only recognizes COM 1-16 (I think). Something to consider. Thanks again, and I hope others can benefit from this as well. Many thanks to Mark B as well. Hey Cris, I'm so glad to hear this as I always worry when I tell someone to buy something other than what they already own, then the new equipment won't work either (wiping sweat from forehead!).

The way you described your setup is exactly how it should go. Your Bluetooth software stack picks up the signal from the BT-20 on COM Port 40 and from there GPSGate picks it up and splits it out into several virtual output COM ports. The RIM ports I believe are for Blackberry phones, since RIM is the company Research in Motion. I actually went into device manager and disabled those ports (as did Stephen Locke IIRC when I helped him), so they would become available after rebooting to GPSGate and then GRL3, since GRL3 uses ports in the lower range of numbers. You can essentially play around with it until you get your configuration just right by rerunning the setup wizard or manually creating output ports in GPSGate.
