I'd love to get either my gps-360 or the gps-500 to work with Vista - your link above no longer seems to work. Has Pharos taken this link down? No mention of Vista on the Pharos website at all. Microsoft says S&T 2007 is Vista compatible, but the new Pharos GPS receiver that comes with it is NOT.
Try this link out download.pharosgps.com/.../free_download.htm. I do not know if it let's you choose the 64-bit option or not.
That link doesn't list Vista. Anyone know where to get the drivers for the 64bit version? Would really like to know!
I also have Vista and would like to get my GPS-500 to work with my Streets and Trips. I don't undrestand how to diaable the integrity checks using this bcdedit. Can you help me? mrafwingnut@cableone.net
According to streetsandtrips.spaces.live.com/.../cns!FDEF586E035CD203!322.entry the Vista 64-bit driver is available on Windows Update
Thanks for the info Jeff. The drivers downloaded and the GPS works great.
Vista x64 found the drivers for me as mentioned here, and Streets and Trips tells me on COM4 there is a Microsoft GPS device running. Great stuff huh??
The only problem is, I am not getting GPS activity in Streets and Trips, none what so ever. I sat outside for an hour with my laptop and GPS hooked up, and yes all the right boxes are checked off. Any suggestions out there on why I'm not getting GPS activity?
I had to do two items. One make sure there are no conflicts in the Device Manager. Second, I had to play with it choosing the right port. After I got it to Port 7 (at least on my machine) it worked perfect once I started driving.

you're welcome! glad you found it, and glad it's useful to you.
You should post the results for those that don't have the CTP available.
I have Pharos Pocket GPS Plus Navigator with a iGPS 280 receiver and Ostia Navigation software. How do I get this run on Vista?
