downloads of the GPS Software and mapping

Updated Tuesday 13th March 2012 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 or even house level detail on maps; voice guidance in your own language; switching GPSS to remote tracking (AVL) over GSM or other communications; help with testing the latest beta copy of GPSS on the oldnew page. You then may also want to read more tips.
Step 4. give June and Robin 10 GBP to remove Snoopy forever :-)

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:

Step 4: give June and Robin 10 GBP to remove Snoopy forever :-)

You can send 10 GBP to Robin via PAYPAL to get a GPSS superkey.
This is ten pounds Sterling, or approximately 15 USD or 11 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 helps offset the cost of supporting GPSS - and buys us meals out :-)
PLEASE DO NOT SEND MONEY UNLESS YOU HAVE TESTED GPSS AND ARE COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH IT.
The (Pay Now) button below sends 10 GBP (Ten Pounds Sterling) to Robin on gpss@compuserve.com via PAYPAL.
Robin will reply by email with your matching GPSS Superkey as soon as he is able - usually within 24 hours.
Please enter your full name (e.g. Fred Bloggs) under "GPSS Superkey" below, then click on the (Pay Now) button.
