What am I missing? How do I access the sd card thru the main menu on my PN40 to see the PQ's I've copied onto it? Been trying everything I can think of and only way to see pq's is thru my computer

Just bought one on ebay about 3 weeks ago. So far it's as fast as my old Garmin GPS V and also just as accurate. It's led me right to GZ every time.

Interesting. How do I determine when it's past 35 so I can unblock the south and SW? It doesn't appear that the sats are being found in any order. Some on the top row show up, then some on the bottom and then another on top until things become static. The rightmost place holders on the bottom are 35 and 36 and 36 never lights up and the one immediately to the left of 35 shows up almost immediately when I turn on the machine. So, I don't know how to determine then the sequence is past 35 since nothing higher than that lights up. Am I correct in assuming that if I find 48 and 51 then those two numbers will appear in the rightmost positions? Won't this thing find any and all sats it can? So, if I get it past 35, when I uncover the S and SW areas to get 48 and 51, won't the machine again find 35 and begin taking info from it? After reading this thread, I tried it with my GPS V. What I did was the reset(power and menu buttons together) then menued in to enable WAAS. I then put my hand over the antenna and watched all the satellites come on. When 35 showed an indication of being picked up I moved my hand til it went bank. Then in 1 minute increments, the receiver starting picking up the satellites one by one. each one showing in the space immediately right of 35. Eventually I got to 48, ( 12 minutes) and after 1 minute it jumped to 51 and locked on. It now indicates both 35 and 51 but only is getting data from 51.. Takes a lot of patience and I'm not a patient person.. Actually took me 3 tries to make it work.

Based on conversation with local FedexKinko, there is no additional COD charge, just normal shipping charges, i.e no 3% paypal fee. My whole thought on this was, I'd get paid when item is delivered, buyer would know before shelling out money that I shipped it.

Since I have a Garmin 12 with pc/auto cable and auto mount that I'm thinking of selling, I was wondering about this also. How does shipping Fedex ground COD with payment by money order/cashiers check sound to everyone? Selling price would incude shipping and the COD fees.

Thanks for all the replies, a V it is. Is there any market for a used gps 12?

Will be used for interstate travel mainly,(not so much street directions), and offroading. Mostly if we go off interstate exploring, using it to get us back to interstate.

Primary usage is for car navigation with geocaching secondary... which would be the recommended unit? Thanks. Merrill
