OP> You got your one upgrade so Garmin upheld their end. Lousy timing was on your end and that sucks. Buck up cowboy.
As far as cachers feeling somewhat entitled I am guilty of that as of late. Kinda got my knickers twisted about DeLorme's 2.8 Firmware upgrade for the PN-30/40 series and the POSSIBILITY of having to pay for the upgrade.
That has yet to be determined and I jumped the gun and posted my opinion before I thought it thru clearly. I have since changed my opinion on it and will pay for the improvements I will receive from it.
I paid for MapSend DirectRoute for my Magellan Meridian when it came out and just a few weeks ago paid for a map update for my Nuvi 205W. Didn't complain about either of those so I haven't the right to bark at DeLorme.
With the latest numaps update I got lucky. My numaps onetime card arrived the day 2010.40 came out. Had it came a day earlier I would have gotten 2010.30 and been SOL because I chose when to do the update, Garmin didn't tell me when to do it. That would have been my onetime update that I paid for...
Just a hampsters 2 cents worth.

Viewed my maps from GPSFileDepot this am with no issues using that version.

Appreciate the heads up on this. My timing was great! Got my nuMaps Onetime from Amazon.com yesterday and tried to download several times with no success. Waited till this morning about 5:45 Central and all went fine.
It took about an hour from start of download till completely finished. I have noticed several changes already. My 205W had NT 2009 map on it before.

I imagine the PN-30 does the same. This is without any additional maps.
The only difference between the PN-30 and 40 is case color and the 30 lacks electronic compass and altimeter.
The PN's come with TOPO 8 so you can install detail maps to the unit.

What part you going to? Pretty broad area there...

Email sent concerning payment and shipping arrangements.

K. Am out of town till Monday. Will contact you then. How would you like payment?

Caleb from Team DeLorme here.
Call us on Monday and reference my post here. We will take care of you. Thanks for your patience.
Simple question for wbtaylor. Have you or have you not contacted Chip Noble or Caleb at DeLorme since they replied to your post?
If not then you have not used the assistance offered to you.
Throw a man a life preserver and he chooses not to grab it and drowns it is not the rescuers fault...

Got my PN-40 and power kit yesterday. Power kit contained the Li-Ion battery pack, home charger, car charger and a 3 pack of screen savers with a microfiber cleaning cloth.
Unit itself came with a set of 2 AA Energizer alkaline batteries and the USB cord.

PN40
in How do I...?
Your PN-40 should have came with a FREE 30 Day Trial Premium Membership. See this thread http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...=5&t=238511
UPS bringing my 40 today!

Try GEOSET as well. Geocachers of Southeast Tennessee

You need to replace the basemap NOT the software. Seems that you have already been to the Yahoo group I was going to suggest.
-
I'll open with a $35 offer.
-
Does the back light work? Any signs of corrosion in the battery bay?
-
Disregard my offer (as if you haven't already). Found a Meridian Color for $50. They actually posted the price they wanted for it so we made a deal. Imagine that!
-
The first responder inadvertently set the price at 75 for both. That is NOT the price i am asking. Perhaps 75-80 each. Back lights work on both.
You said Make Offer so I did. If you wanted a set price why did you not specify that.
I was hoping to sell these separately to people interested in starting geocaching, to get more ppl into this adventure, not to ppl that want to scoop up both of them at the cheapest price and then cannibalize them for parts, why else would you want two?The reason I want 2 is that I borrowed a friends Gold as I no longer have one. The one I borrowed was lost or stolen so I must replace it. That still leaves the other one for me to use...
Thanks all, for the patience.I figured you may have been busy because of the holiday, that is why I waited till yesterday to bump the thread.
Now that we have deemed $75 too low for both would you consider $100 for both? I don't really care about the accessories personally as 1 of the units I will be forced to give away anyway...
-
Can non-biased users pipe up and share what they feel these are worth?
Was actually directing the question at the OP.
-
Any thoughts on this offer? Are they still available?!?
-
Do the backlights work on both units and would you take PayPal if we can reach an agreement?
-
I will offer $75 for both and use my UPS account to arrange shipping.
-
-
I'm not understanding the thought of swapping the guts though, do you mean with my replacement unit?
Correct. Put the "better" internals from the wrecked unit into your replacements housing.

pn-40 firmware update 2.6 or 2.7 whats better and why
in GPS technology and devices
Posted
Downloaded 2.7 yesterday and like the fact that it gives back the functionality that my Meridian GPS's had for multiple files. Thanks for everyone that figured this out, really makes me like the 40 that much better!
