I love Cetus GPS! It made me love my Lifedrive again! Works like a charm with a Tomtom Bluetooth GPS receiver. I use it all the time and never get lost!

Works great on the Radioshack GPS. Sky view shows satellites that it has not yet locked onto.

This GPS software is excellent! It works with my Rand McNally Streetfinder GPS and provides better service than the provided software.

It's totally amazing how this program enables the built in GPS avaivable in most models. I even found my way to the toilet!

Perhaps some mention of GPS hardware in the minimum system requirements would make some sense.
