    Looking for Mapsend Direct Route Canada Update CD

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I just purchased a ver 1.0 Mapsend Direct Route for my Magellan GPS from E-Bay and didn't realize that ver 1.0 didn't include North America only USA. I also need Canada eh?

     

    Is any one in the USA interested in selling there Canada CD update to me if they are never ever going to use it. Most of the the later versions 2.0 and 3.0 have the Canada CD separately. Or even a complete 2.0 or 3.0 version CD or DVD if they switched to Garmin GPS as it apppear many are going to lately.

     

    I have a Pay Pal account or can send US money order

     

    thanks

    Looking for GPS Software supplier Ft Lauderdale,Florida

    in South and Southeast

    Posted · Edited by Max Cacher

    Hello

    I am looking for the nearest GPS supplier that deals with Magellans in the FT Lauderdale, Florida area. We are going on our first Caribbean cruise(St Maarten,St. Thomas,Princess Cays) next month from Canada and I am trying to find a copy of the MapSend Blue NAV North America CD for Magellan for my Magellan Color to purchase. I can't track a good priced CD anywhere other than US (around $100.) and no one ships to Canada.

     

    We will be in FT Lauderdale for a day before we get on the crusie ship there so we hope to do a little geocaching in the area.

     

    thanks in advance

     

    currently frozen (-37F ) geocacher :anitongue:

    PC Tablet CF 18 Panasonic GPS

    Does any one own a CF18 Panasonic Tough Book with the GPS feature. I am looking at purchasing this PC tablet and would like any good or bad comments from anyone. I wish to use it for work on construction engineering survey and inspection projects and after hours for geocaching even though I own a Magellan Color also.

     

    thanks in advance

    Meridian Color

    in GPS technology and devices

    hello

    I own an Median Color for play and a Median Platinium for work and that only downfall is the battery storage, I bought a few 2300 rechargeable AA's from Walmart and they last all day no problem. Be careful removing the batteries also.

     

    One of the reason I went with the Median was there price EZ Cargo in Canada sell a Color Median for $199.00/plus taxes and the Map Send Software was only $85.00 at Walmart.

     

    Unless you are retired and geocach every day why buy the high prices for a part-time sport. All GPS made recently work basically the same. Save your money for your holidays :P

    Handspring Visor "find" Feature Problem

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted · Edited by dkorzenowsky

    Hello

     

    I own a Handspring Visor Pro OS ver 3.5.2h3.0 and I have Cache Mate, Iambic Tiny Sheets and Plucker softaware loaded on it plus other Address Book etc.. generic programs.

     

    When I attempt to use the "find" feature on my PDA and attempt to search for a geocache ID name( say GCB BB7) that is in my database in Cache Mate, it will not locate it.. i have tried upper and lower case

    but,

    if I use the "find" feature to look for a geocache name or even its coordinates, it can be found ???

     

    Also I have a large database of names ,phone numbers etc in my Iambic Tiny sheets for work , I can't locate any names in this Excel spreadsheet generated database using "find"

     

    If the name exists in my address e-mail files , it is found???

     

    Any idea on why the find feature only locates such names and places from certain files only ?? :rolleyes:

    I own a handspring Visor also,

     

    When I attempt to search in my Handspring for a geocache that I have loaded in Plucker. is there a"find feature" to zoom to my geocache. in Plucker, how do you access the find feature???

     

    or When I try and do a "find" outside of the Plucker software in the Handspring software for a geocache point name , it will not will go to the reference file in Plucker :any way around that.??

     

    My Handspring Visor will only search for names etc..in the address folder not in hidden files (like any file in Iambic Tiny Sheet or Plucker)any users of Handspring out there to help me with search or find commands in my Visor :rolleyes:

    Yes I have cachemate already loaded, but i only use to document my geocache in the field

     

    I see that I have to get a registered copy of cachemate first , mine is a free one which many features missing, then I can load loc and gpx files thru gc.com right??

    Creating *.wmf File?

    in Canada

    Posted

    WMF files are vector data (lines). JPG are bitmap images (dots). They are not cross compatable. You need to look for vectorization software. But trust me, it does not work that well.

    thanks, I figured they were quite different software since I couldn't find "save as" files for *.wmf , any idea where I could create wmf file though :huh:

    does any know how to create *.wmf files please for creating DVD labels in TDK labelling software that I recently purchased. They have generic *.wmf images for insert onto the DVD labels, but I want to create my own personal images , is there any free software around :ph34r: ,Also any way to convert *.jpeg images into *.wmf file format. I checked Paint and Ascdee software in their "save as" and nothing??? :o

    Does anyone know of any free software for converting/creating *.wmf files from *.jpeg files and from scratch :ph34r: .

     

    I checked in Paint,ASCDEE and can't find any "save as" for wmf file format. I am creating DVD labels using TDL Labelling system for my geocach archive files, and want to create new images for the DVD cover

    Gps Rental

    in Canada

    don't bother to rent, prices are really great after christmas unless you need many for students.

     

    EZCargo has a Magellan Color which I recently bought for $250.. less than 40% off the on-line price, yes it is refurbished but Magellan has great support at GPS Canada in Calgary and Prairie Geomatics in Manitoba for warrany work if needed

     

    I have owned a Magellan Platinium also for about a year, Magellan has worked great for my engineering/surveying at work and geo-caching on the weekends.

     

    Canadian tire is now selling new units from $175 to $500.

     

    EBay is a good source for used stuff but don't pay more than 30 cents on the dollar

     

    I checked in regina at FAE , no rentals around they say

    Google Earth Pro allows import of waypoints right into Google Earth

     

    you have to pay $20 but I think it is well worth it

     

    after you import your waypoints, turn on the terrain feature in Google Earth for a 3D view of the your hike. it is very cool!!! remember to turn your angle of the the ground surface in Google earth and you wiil seea 3d viewing of your hike

     

    enjoy :lol:
