  2. Has been working fine. Today it says there is a new version but wont let me download it. Tried with explorer an Fire fox. Is for a Delorme PN40. Thanks
  3. Year old pn40 with Topo 9 original box all original paper work. Works great just upgraded. $140 SHIPPED. Paypal gift option please.USA only. The 40 is in like new shape. Can get pics if needed. Thanks ric
  4. Glad you got it. Mine worked just fine this past weekend. Enjoy it. ric
  5. That is great news. I can't wait for mine to show up. I hope it has Topo 9. Maybe they have a mixed stock of refurbs, but I would hope they would have run out of the Topo 8 ones earlier. The tracking says it came through a sort facility 4 hours away at 2 AM, so maybe it'll be here today, with any luck. Thanks for the update. 4bejeepin Edit: On an unrelated note, I just realized I've been signing with my username that I normally use. Hah! Since we GeoCache as a family, I used a different name for all of us. Guess old habits die hard. When i talked to them they told me it would have Topo 8 also but it is Topo9! Hope you get Topo9 with yours. Later ric

  9. After you install it, reboot. Connect and start the Triton. Then from the cache page(or even from the map page), click...Send To GPS. Then a window pops up(you may need to allow popups from geocaching.com). Click the... Magellan Tab Click...Download Go get that FTF! Thanks worked like a charm.
  10. I believe you're after DDD MM.MMM: N 36° 56.700 W 089° 59.017 In the future you could always go here: http://www.geocaching.com/wpt/default.aspx...83&detail=1 Thanks all got it!!!

  12. Can some one please convert this for caching. +36° 56' 42.00", -89° 59' 1.00" thanks ric
  13. Deadelm is right. go here http://www.tritonforum.com/forum/index.php...d321f9911048a91 for lots of good info on the Triton.
  14. In order to get the cache info you do have to be a premium member. You need the GPX file for info. You can get lots of info on your 500 here http://www.tritonforum.com/forum/index.php...d321f9911048a91.
  15. your welcome! AN Thank you SkellyCA!!!!!!!! i could not remember it all so i copied it. Hope you dont mind. Later ric
  16. It's much easier to drag and drop the .loc files. I made this step by step for .gpx files, but you can follow the same procedure with .loc files, you just can't use Pocket Queries, also in step 1, you use .loc Waypoint File instead of GPX File Exchange.... You have to use Magellan's VantagePoint software. You need to be a premium member to download gpx files. If you are not a premium member, follow the same procedure using the .loc files, except for the use of pocket queries; and you will not get the info listed at the bottom, only the location of the caches.. You can use either step 2a, 2b or 2c to get the caches from the website in VP. 1. On the page of a cache, click GPX eXchange File and save it to your hard drive; I organized mine into different folders, basically by city(I usually name them the same as on the website; make sure that the file name ends in .gpx) 2a. Upload the .gpx file into Vantage point; from Vantage Point software, click the library tab, select Import to import the file into VP; then select the file from your hard drive. You can only do one file at a time, pain in the butt. 2b. To import multiple gpx files at once, open the folder that contains the gpx files and open VP; click the library tab, then select geocaches(reasure chesat icon). Select the files(hold down CTRL and click the ones you want; then drag them into VP 2c. Create a Pocket Query; unzip zip it; then import in into VP. 3. Transfer the file to GPSr. Connect your unit the the computer via usb; then from VP, click the MyGps tab. Then Click Transfer From PC to My GPS on the left where it says Snyc. Then a window will popup and to can select waypoints or geocaches; I uncheck both boxes. Then click the plus sign next to geocaches; then chech the boxes next to all the caches you want to transfer; it'll do how many ever you select. Then click OK and let it do it's thing. What you will get on your Triton is… 1. Name 2. Cache Type 3. Coordinates 4. Distance from current location 5. Hint 6. Short Description 7. Long Description Changes for V1.60… Note: VP just did an upgrade to V1.60. Changes are... On step 2 the Library tab is gone, click My Journal on the left side instead of the Library tab. In step3 the MyGPS tab is gone and the icons are at the top. The section that says Sync is where you will find the Transfer From PC to My GPS icon Iuse a T400 an it works great. Copyed this from SkellyCA an it is the way i do mine also.
  17. witch Magellan do you have? If it is a Triton you will have to use Vantage point. Go here for Triton help http://www.tritonforum.com/forum/index.php...d321f9911048a91 good people.
  18. Try; view>settings>(then you have to scroll down to see) 'date and time'. Your adjustments should be in there.
