Night Tracker

I decided to go with v.4.06..I followed the steps to the letter and now my GPS works BETTER than the old v.3.12..It takes only 35seconds to lock on sats and draw the map. I can get to within 2' of my bench mark in the back yard. My old M-315 with v3.15 is also there with the Merigold. I have used it for a few days now and i'm totally satisfied with its performance. My brother will be happy to know that I didn't mess it up. Thanks to all that responed. If you haven't made the change what are you waiting for. Just follow the instructions, yes you'll loose all your way points but it's worth it. Bye to all..Final post ...NT

Thanks to all that replied, I will go with v4.06 as soon as I get to a PC. I sold my Meridian Gold to my brother and I wanted to at least try out the new firmware before I give it up. Again thanks to all.....NT

I'm running v3.12 in my Meridian Gold and want to update it to something as reliable and stable as what i'm using now. So tell us, what is the best version to run on the Meridian....

The M315 was my first unit,it has never let me down. I have the latest and last version v3.15 which is still availalbe on the Magellan site. It is not a map unit but if you can get it for 75 to 85 dollars get it. It's old looking but as long as there are birds up there it will always get you where you need to be. I now have a Meridian Gold and use the 315 as a backup/loner, is still proves its worth, i will hang on to it...Any GPS is better the no GPS..

Does anyone have the Costco item # for the Sport Trak Pro ? And, can you get it at the store or is it only an online special. Thanks..NT

No, It means M&J are going to go with 50 ammo can caches. God I love ammo cans[]

I did the same type of side by side real world performance test, my brothers' Venture and my M315. I got the opposite results Searching_ut got. My brother ended up offing his Venture to buy a Meridian Gold. Now his buddy, (the one he sold the Venture to) wants to trade it in for a Meridain. I guess your milege may vary..All I know that you have to know how to get the most out of you gear. Case in point, If you want the best range out of your frs radio, get up high on a hill, I get my 1/2 watt radio to reach my friends house 22 miles away using gps to get the range down.. NT

Update: Well I since bought the M315 and changed my mind about getting a Rhino. My brother got a Legend. I ended up with a Meridian Gold and I'm very pleased with it. My brothers can't lock on in areas we use it most (woods) he likes mine better. The Gold will always keep a good lock at sats his can't. He sold it last month and bought a Sportrak Pro which he loves.... NT

Try this site it should help. Let us know if it worked out for you.. http://celia.mehaffey.com/allory/magfeat.htm

Hey, I know you! What version do you have now? When you first start the unit it will tell you. Just download off Magellans web site. You may need to do this in steps depending on how old your current version is. With v3.15 you will swear it is a NEW GPS... NT..

If you can find a Magellan 330 on clearance that would be a good unit, I've seen one go (on a red tag sale) for 125.00 . If you can afford it I would get the Magellon Sport Trak Pro, you get a 50.00 rebate. It has 23 megs of storage. Thats a real nice unit. Hope this helps.NT

GPScache, you have mail...

E-mail me, you near the bay area?

I'll sell one NIB with warranty card for 100.00 plus shipping. Or my personal unit used for 85.00 plus shipping. Both have been updated to v3.15. both come with Datasend CD and PC cord, owners book and fresh AAs. The used one has found over 100 caches... I bought a Maridian Gold but plan to keep one of the 315s... NT

Mapsend topo won't down load onto the Maridian Gold the promp says data to large for the 330. I have a 64meg. SD card in it and it won't transfer data to it. I tried loading to an SD card reader and couldn't get the data to download to the SD card. I have two regions of Calif. that add up to 59megs. What am I doing wrong. I'm no expert and need help>> Any and all are wecolmed to help me out...

I'm having trouble loading Mapsend topo onto my SD card reader/writer. When I try putting the SD card into the Mag. Gold it won't show any info. Any one know how to do it right.?

How do you upload mapsend data using an SD card reader. I have an 64 meg SD card and would like to at fill it with maps. I know it has to be broken doen into blocks but came anyone tell me how its done? Im a PC novice and you may have to be specific>>Thanks NT

Get a handle bar mount and put it on your bike, if you have time to ride you have time to geocache! What she gonna do! Leave you for 375.00? NT

Meridain Gold with 64megSD. Which is the most useful city map to use with this unit..Best choice and why. Thanks in advance..

Got it! Thanks MacPa

It's in New condition, Upgraded to latest v3.15, comes with Datasend CD, pc cord and fresh AAs. First 125.00 takes it. Its a great unit, I bought it as a spare. I now have A Meridian Gold and two M315s, the new one goes.

When on the map page can the map info be changed from Heading and Speed to Miles and Speed?

Goodguys are clearing out ALL GPSs, I wasn't in the market for a new onw but for 119.00 for the Meridian Gold I would be a fool to pass it up. I'll be looking for an SD card & CD soon. I have two M315s I may sell one. It has Data Send cd and pc cord,they are both updated to v3.15. I may it soon on ebay for 120.00 as new...
