after using the first program to export, on the gps setup, did you set that exported file as the active geocache file? until you set the active geocache file none of the gc waypoints will display. give that a try cheers marknamy

I've been wanting to get back out for a few caches lately. I'll see if I can hit it up and grab it for you. I'm fairly close and it's one I've been meaning to go to. marknamy

yup, I was looking at the Colorado's on the site. found a few online stored that have them listed for sale starting mid january, however the roughyl $500 price tag is pushing me off a little... don't think the better half will let me get that one.. PDOP's, thanks for that link, I thought I remembered seeing a similar one, but my search technique's apparently need tuning. cheers marknamy

Hi folks, Trying to locate the cheapest place around to pick up a 60cx or csx anyone know of any extra deals flying around in the next while? thanks, marknamy

I believe you can get a morotola t320 or t370 ?? battery that is a perfect replacement for it. do a search for motorola battery and you should see it. apparently they are extremely cheap in comparison to the real battery marknamy

had mapsend v 1, just downloaded and installed v2, and it has some better features however still no ability to upload a detailed map to my gps though. so what are other explorist users using? other than buying the mapsend canada for $100ish? just wondering. thinking i might soon have to plunk down for it anyways though. marknamy

Hi folks, We just purchased an explorist 400 and have been out for a day of seeking already. In trying to figure out the features of the 400, I installed the software that came with it. The mapsend manager, and mapsend lite. I wanted to know what the point of including that mapsend lite app is? really it does nothing that I can find, other than frustrate me. I'm trying to determine what other software will work with my gpsr. I know mapsend topo canada 3d will, however i don't want to shell out $120 for it...yet. What other software do you folks use to regional maps/details maps? will microsoft streets & trips be able to upload detail maps to my gpsr?? any hel/suggestions welcome. thanks, marknamy

the quick and dirty way around it is to run the install program in "compatability mode" whe you insert the install disk, go into windows explorer, open the drive with the install disk on it. right click on "setup.exe" on the compatibility tab, click the check box and run it as "windows xp service pack 2" and it should install fine. you may need to do the same with the actual mapsend exe once installed for it to work. cheers, marknamy
