    Two City Select V.6 On One Computer

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I have a 76cs and have city select v.6 already on my laptop.

     

    I just bought a used gps V that has a city select v.6 with it.

     

    Since there is already a City Select v.6 unlocked to the 76cs

    can I install the City Select v.6 and the mapsource that came

    with the GPS V on the same computer as the maps for the

    76cs?

     

    I understand there are 2 unlocks for each set of maps. I do not

    want to use the other unlock I have for the maps on the 76cs.

     

    I hope this makes sense.

    How did you serve?

    Was in USAF for 3 years 6 months and 19 days but who's counting?

     

    Served as technician for Radar, Missile Firing Circuits, and bombing computers on F-4. While in Viet Nam served in debriefing which I enjoyed.

     

    IMHO, I believe everyone should pull tour of duty in the military.

    Garmin 76cs Usb And Garmin Mount

    in GPS technology and devices

    DEMP,

     

    Good idea. That would keep from making modification to the mount. My laptop does not have a serial port. As I think a bout it, a hole would be cheaper than a cable and an adapter. LOL :blink:

     

    I knew a guy once who had six toes on his right foot. Every pair of shoes he bought he would cut a hole to let his sixth toe hang out. He would say, "I paid 30 dollars for the shoes but I would not take a million bux for the hole I cut in them."

    Garmin 76cs Usb And Garmin Mount

    in GPS technology and devices

    Was wondering if anyone has modified their Gramin mount so you can plug in USB cable while GPSr is mounted in an auto?

     

    I have thought I could Dremel a hole in the mount where I can plug in the USB and use the Laptop while it is mounted in the auto. You would have to remove the rubber cover that screws in. With a hole cut or drilled in the right place you could use the USB cable while the GPSr is in the mount.

     

    I am still a newb so any suggestions of how this has been done would be appreciated.

    I bought my 76CS three weeks ago and got great service. When the GPSr arrived the lanyard was missing. They contacted Garmin and It was in my hands in less than a week. They even answered my emails on the weekend.

     

    I will do business with them again.

    Compass Arrow Is Broken

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Okay you have me thinking in the right direction, but I have changed some of the settings like "follow road" , "off road" , "prompted" ,"magentic" "true" north and etc.

     

    For some reason though the broken arrow is still with me.

     

    I will keep changing things until I get it.

     

    Thanks for help.

    Compass Arrow Is Broken

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I have a 76CS and have been using it for several days. I have ungraded the firmware to 3.5 and I got the bigger red bearing pointer on the compass. Now when I use the compass the arrow head and tail of the bearing pointer is in line but the middle of the pointer is a thin red line and is off set about the width of the line itself.

     

    I have tried removing batteries and reinstalling and recalibrating the compass. Anyone else had this problem?

     

    I am going the contact gramin and see if they have an idea.

     

    :huh:

    I do not understand all there is to know about servers and forums, but i am a member of another forum and it has thousands of members and has very few issues. the only cost is to volunteer 10 bux every year or so.

     

    that site has no speed issues and runs very well.

     

    it is www.yotatech.com

     

    i am not criticizing, or arguing, just sharing what i know. which isn't much.

     

    so, no one take offense at this just making a comparison.

    Meridian Gold/platinum Or Gpsmap 60/76

    NFA,

     

    I owned a magellan meridian gold. It is a nice GPSr. However, I bought the Garmin 76CS. I did this for the color display my eyes are not as good as they used to be. I like the extra built in memory. I do wish the 76CS had the SD card slot like the Gold.

     

    I like the longer battery life of the 76CS. My gold ate batteries at almost twice the rate of the 76CS.

     

    I think you would be happy with either unit, but if she is buying, go with the 76CS.

     

    JMHO.
