Hello, I bought two of these and the update cable. The update cable drivers installed and seems to be working (red light and it says The Geomate jr. update Kit detected) but when I attempt to update either of the two units I get an error that says "Flash programming failed. ...Cannot open port." Please let me know if there is anyone who can help me get these updated for my boys. Thanks, Greg

I have been trying to get this running on an old Plam Treo700WX with a Garmin 10 and have just about thrown the device out the window! Anyone have any sucess with this?

Stage 1 sent, is it too late to play this game?

I am planning on upgrading eventually but I currently have a street pilot c340. Is there any way to make this work with it?

Mike, you better get your butt back down south, we have a canoeing trip in a few weeks!!!

I have a 300, from what I've been told its got the same receiver (as all the Explorists I think) and a compass vs the 210. It does not have native PC connectivity, a geocaching manager in the unit or the extra memory (it has 16meg). You can get an aftermarket cable but since its not official you won't get any support for it, so its only good for geocaching if you are willing to solve your own problems if you have any with the cable or you manually enter points. When I go caching it generally takes me pretty close to the cache (20ft or less) and always has reception (even if its not great). I haven't had any issues with the unit freezing. When you say its freezing is it just the compass that doesn't move or the device becomes completely nonresponsive? It has been both. I have a freeze up and have to take the batteries out and restart it and the compass, I did not know it did not have a true compass in it. I am also looking at the 600. Have you heard anything on these?

Re: your accuracy readings Some fluctuation in accuracy readings is not necessarily abnormal. It is very common under tree cover. A difference of 20 feet in a reading for the same location is well within the error of a consumer handheld GPS. If you have reason to feel your unit is not working as well as it did earlier, though, you can clear all memory and reintialize to see if things get better. Re: freezing up 3 minutes? That doesn't sound normal. Are there any conditions associated with the times that happens? Re: compass mode The 210 doesn't have the electronic compass like the the 600 or the 300. The 210's compass is derived from a change in position as measured by GPS signal. If you stand still and turn in a different directions, the GPS doesn't know about it. If you take a few steps in a new direction, *then* it knows that you are going on a different heading than you were before, and it can display that in a compass readout. Embra, thanks for the information. Is the explorist 300 a better unit? I have the ability to trade this explorist 210 on a explorist 300 for a cheaper price.

Ok I have another problem. My explorist 210 is acting strange. It says it is tracking 7-8 satelites. It takes for ever to get a 3D fix. When it does it has the accuracy says 35 ft and it then goes to 56 ft then to 37 ft. It keeps bouncing around, even if I am in a wide open area. I find a location for a cache an it will count down the distance and then it goes away from the location, when I return to the same location it says I am 20 feet away. When I am traveling it will track along and then freeze up for about 3 min and then pick back up. And finally when I go to compass mode it will point to north and if I turn around it never moves? it says I am pointing north everyway I am going.It will some times unlock and point north but then it locks up again. I am so frustrated with this darn thing. Has anyone had any similar problems? It was caching great, then all of a sudden I can't find squat. I think I need to exchange it with tigergps where I bought it before my 60 day warantee runs out, then I have to go through Magellan. Any advise??????? Please Help!!!

I have had my 210 for three weeks now but still can not figure out how to load detailed maps from the mapsend software I got with the outdoor package. I created a region and try to send it to the gps and the gps says it is uploading the detailed map info and it locks up and never uploads? Any one who can give me some advice I would appreciate it.
