The Selection tool does not work in Streets and Trips 2006 with GPS Locator (918805)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS Locator

SYMPTOMS

When you try to use the Selection tool in Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 with GPS Locator, you cannot use the Selection tool.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the Selection tool is disabled when the GPS receiver is enabled.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, use the PAN tool and the Zoom tool instead of the Selection tool to select a specific area in the map.

The Pan tool

  1. On the Navigation toolbar, click Pan.

    The pointing device changes to the Pan tool and appears as a hand when you float it over the map.
  2. Drag the hand in the direction that you want to shift the map.
  3. To stop moving the map, release the button on the pointing device.

The Zoom tool

When you zoom in or out, you see different map views based on altitude. Zooming out increases the altitude and therefore brings more map area with less map detail into view. Zooming in decreases altitude and therefore brings less map area but more map detail into view.
