    Can't get Mapsource to drag over to a different monitor?

    by Riley » Sun May 31, 2009 10:44 am

    Any tech gurus have any suggestions?


    When I hook my laptop up to my LCD TV through a standard monitor cable, my desktop shows up and I can drag most windows to the tv just not Mapsource.

    The troubleshooting guide mentioned that a MS-DOS program won't work with dual monitors. Is this my problem?

    Is there a way to get it to work? I just want a larger viewable area on Mapsource so it's easier to use.

    Thanks!

    I hate using mapsource I usually take whatever I have and view it on google earth. Then edit or look at what I need too. Just for curiosity sake what gps unit do you have? I have a Colorado 400t I love it but it eats up batteries like crazy.

    I have an eTrex Legen HcX. Love it, and batteries seem to last pretty decent.

    I know this is an old thread... did you get it to work?? Mapsource isn't MS-DOS, as it's GUI driven in Windows. It should drag like any other window. Make sure it's not set for "full-screen"

    I never did, looking around I've been seeing that it's not possible for copyright issues or something.

    Not too computer savvy, but I got everything else to drag...
