  1. What do you mean by "the virtualy non-existing platnium edition"? Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
  2. do you go pheasnt hunting? where do you go to hunt? The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.

  5. 1. gold, but all the answers for you questions will be the same for the other units. 2. yes, 3.08 3. 8 4. yes, and several other characters 5. I belive you can type 30 but, i think it only stores 20. So I would say 20. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
  6. Or the meridian yahoo group has it on there file section to upload for free. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
  7. Would magellan have done somethin like garmin did, and use memory cards that only work for magellan GPS's? If so, then 23mb is as high as it goes, or the 23+9=32 is all that the top line can contain. Wyatt W.

  8. Jus a quick question, dose the GPS show it is in water, if so do you have detailed maps for that area? Because the basemap alone is not good enough to go on (not enough vector's to plot an accurate costline). Wyatt W.

  9. Well it does not sound like it will be replacing the meridian series. Or is it? Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
  10. It would have been worth the extra $10 dollars to go with the camo, then at least you would have gotten the cable, which may cost more than $10 later on. Does the camo contain sun/moon stuff?

  11. quote:Originally posted by ApK: The maps and screen quality are clearly better on the eMap, AR-15 What do you mean by the screen quality is better? Since the emap display is 1.7" * 2.2" with 120*160 pixels, and the meridian is 1.75"*2.2" with the same number of pixels. It would seem that the clarity would be about the same. Wyatt W.

  12. Photomap now works for waypoints and track download from a magellan reciever (at least the meridian series). It is not perfect yet, I belive you have to do it before it gets a signal (that is easier said than done, I am in my basement, with my hands covering the antanna, and practialy have to sit on it to totaly cut of the signal) Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
  13. What version of mapsend streets do you have? 1.1 is the ltest verison that I know about. You can get it from the magellan web site. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
  14. I alos tried your steps and was unable to get "poor GPS coverage" alarm. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
  15. MM stands for mils (military) magnetic. To change it to deg mag, deg true, or mil true do the following: hit menu, scroll to setup, go down to north reference and pick what you would like. The mils go to 6400 instead of 360 so it adds more accuracy. I believe it is used to deliver artillery shells (off so many feet at a distance of so far = calculate change in mils) Wyatt W.

  16. I read in my popular science a couple months ago that garmin was makeing a new navtalk. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
  17. You may want to check out the magelland meridian (exspecialy the green or gold). If you go for the green you will get the computer cable with it, and a database of some towns and major roads. After you get fimilar with it you can pick up a SD card and mapsend software to upload maps. With this set up you will still have some money left over and not have to worry about upgrading later to a mapping unit (trust me you will eventually want a mapping unit). Wyatt W.

  18. Yes it did say power external, I just think my older cable was delevering less power than what was needed when the backlight was on and when it was redrawing the map. The new cable seems to be delivering the right amount. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.

  20. I had that problem when I was using a 315 cable with the black box (I heard somewhere that there was a defect with the black cable). Can you use the unit with no batteries installed at all? I was able to use it but when I turned the backlight on it would shut it self off. I called Magellan and told them that I had the 315 and the meridian and was using the same cable for both of them, I also told them that I was having problems where my batteries would die. I got them to send me a new 315 cable (gray box) which appeals (just got today- took a week to arrive) to run the unit with backlight on bright and redrawing the map. Wyatt W.

  22. I have never had the video so I can't say if it will help. I find it helps to sit somewhere with the manual and GPS, then read the manual and try what it tells you to do. And remember you can always clear the memory when you’re done. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
  23. Yeah I beleive alot of time the battries cost $20, then the bulb if it need replacement cost about $4-7. So it just cheaper to buy a new spot light. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions.
