This seems like a good deal since the Garmin 60c is at least $320.00+tax+shipping. Good deal for a newbie not wanting to spend alot for a color unit. I sent you an e-mail.

Hey, Rosco, SBPhishy, and OurWoods: Do you guys ever experience what I wrote to begin this thread about the text on the shut down screen and only having 8-10 satellite numbers listed at the bottom of the sat screen? Oh, by the way I did a google search to find 4.06 .

SBphishy check this link out. This is what I used and my GPS says 4.06. My Webpage

So, let me get this straight. There will be times that I will have 12 satellites listed on the bottom of the sat. nav screen, that's because my GPS "sees" them. I may only get reception from lets say 5-6 which is good. Now there will be other times that I will only see 8 satellites listed on the bottom of the sat. nav screen this is because my GPS only "sees" 8. I may get reception from 4 of them. Your saying this is normal and nothing to worry about? So If I see the sat. number dissapear from the bottom that is o.k.?

Thanks Kris for your reply. Anyone else experiencing the same things with their GPS? I just want to make sure I don't have any problems.

I have a Sportrak Map that I got a few days ago. I updated to ver. 4.06 from the Magellan web site. I've noticed a few things that I would like to know if it's normal. 1) I've set the unit to verify shut down when the power key is pressed. When the text comes on to verify shutdown (by pressing the enter key) some of the text is unreadable (doesn't fit on screen). Anyone else have this? 2) When I go to the sat. screen on the bottom where the numbers for the 12 sat. are I don't have all 12 listed... sometimes there are 8, 9, 10. Are all supposed to be there even if not getting rec. from them? 3) On some nav screens when in the sun some of the darker areas seem to flicker or look wavy. I don't notice it really while inside or in the shade. Is this normal also? Thanks for your replies....yes I know I am OCD!!!

Thanks for the replies. I'll send it in and hopefully get my rebate. BTW, I'm really enjoying playing with this thing. It works great. I get reception in my house, and in my car while the unit is on the seat. Having fun so far.

I purchased a new Sportrak Map today at Wal-Mart. The price was within my budget at 169.77. I was under the impression that the Sportrak Map also has a 30.00 rebate until Feb. 2. I downloaded the rebate form and the last part of the upc code on the form is different than what is on my package. Am I entitled to a rebate? Do I have to buy at a certain store to qualify for the rebate? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
