SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you select the Area Locator Map in a standalone installation of
Microsoft Automap Streets, version 4.0, while using the GPS Enabler and
Trimble Mobile GPS, you receive the following error message:
 
   Failure Sending Location Update to Automap
 
After you cancel the error message, the GPS Enabler does not function
and the GPS position symbol is not in the correct location (it is often
found in British Columbia). You must restart both Automap Streets and
the Trimble Mobile GPS to restore GPS functionality.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The Area Locator Map is not supported by the GPS Enabler in a standalone
installation of Microsoft Automap Streets.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
If you install Microsoft Automap Road Atlas and Microsoft Automap
Streets into the same directory, this problem does not occur when you use
the Area Locator Map to switch between the two programs.
