  1. OK, I did a little drive this morning, and did what Jolly said,watching the zoom level, it did change from "overzoom" to "mapsource" above the zoom range. It also APEARS that its locked to a road, but thats just because the cursor is a block long and1/2 block wide at that level(city block on map). when I got home I dug into the owners manual again and found that, "overzoom" means the map has as much detail as its going to show you, in other words ,zooming in aint gonna show nothing else you dont see already,it will just narrow down the area you see. also, as to locking to metro guides..I have R&R loaded..I guess that explaind it for me,thanks guys! on a side note...Anders,do you fish at all? I've been toying with the idea of going to sweden to track down some of my distant relatives and do some sight seeing, but I'm also VERY interested in pike,zander and perch fishing, any tips as to when and where?
  2. Just upgraded to a Garmin GPSMap76S from my trusty old GPS 12. this thing is UNREAL! now my question is this, while playing around with it I have the "base map" on and mapsource map,that I also purchased and loaded in ,OFF. I'm driving to work on the freeway and the cursor shows my as being off the road,somtimes a little somtimes ALOT. I have the "road lock" feature ON, so what gives? I understand its not going to match the road perfectly 100% of the time but,then if I switch the basemap off and turn the mapsource on it tracks closer to what the map shows? I also know the "lock" doesnt apply to mapsource.,and I get consistent readings as far as showing the same track to and from places laid right on top of each other. anyone else notice this?

  7. ER...I know this is a bit off the topic, but dosent anyone use the Garmin 12 anymore? I know it dosent have mapping,I dont need a electric map..I got loads of De Lorme map books and a good memory,plus with a little ingenuity you can use a basic GPSR to do 90% of what a mapping unit does. I get GREAT fixes under cover of trees and in valleys, beat the heck outta my unit ,use it all four seasons(in Wisconsin no less),rain,sunclouds whatever,it didnt cost much compared to other units ,I've compared it to Mag. units and it 10x easier to use (with either hand),+ its that nice black that goes well with the nazi style stilleto heels! So WTH?...no one else uses this simple beauty anymore?
