Loaded a 71 meg region Friday. Took forever to load but works fine!! Firmware is excellent!!

My "junk" meridian gold had me to within 3 feet of the three caches I found today!! quote:Like I said, some Magellans come out ok. quote:Magellans are JUNK. I've been using GPS since I was in the military 15 years ago. Magellan has been junk since day one.

No problems here. I love my Merigold. IT works well for my needs!!

Thanks for the help. I emailed Prime Suspect and he got back to me right away. When you are in the xport config box, and click on the lat and long, it will bring up a dialog box to change the coordinate type. Thanks for the help and sorry for hijacking this thread!

Thanks y'all. I was afraid to ask. Thanks for the assistance!!

IVxIV, How do you transfer waypoints over to S&T? Downloaded Utopia but i cant get 2002 to recognize the points. Any tips???

I thank you for your assistance. I explained in my post that I had looked for it in the search. I thought this was a place to look for assistance???

After about 30 minutes of searching the archives, I cannot find links where there are programs that convert addresses to coordinates. Thanks....Remember, I did attempt a search first!!

I agree with criminal.

The new video tape units in some police cars have a port for GPS. I originally thought that it would be a bad thing until I was in a ditch fighting a guy and couldn't get to my radio. Its an easy to keep a dangerous job safer. There is a whole DPS(Texas) district in West Texas that had GPSR's installed in their cars through a grant. At the time (4 years ago) they were awesome and an excellent tool, color too!!

I agree. I think some of these folks take themselves and a supposed to be fun game too seriously!

Maybe you just needed a valid permit!!They aren't overreacting, they are doing their job. Wheb you have a GPSr in your hand, it is not an instant passport wherever you wish...and it is not a defense to trespassing!

I have been extra pleased with their service. The owner even returns emails....Wow!!

I may come to that!! Sounds like fun. I have really wanting to do some neat stuff with my GPSr and lesrn some of the tricks...That will also be after the La State testing for students.....Thats a great getaway!!!

I have registered several times and have received one response, telling me to register again. I will probably look for a group in East Texas.

I have XP and have had no success using anything with the USB to Serial adapter. I have purchased a card reader and use it that way. I would love to be able to use my GPSr and my laptop together but I will make do for now. It seems that since there is no serial port, my computer cant assign a com 2 or 3 port. I have heard of using serial PCMCIA cards...has anybody used those???

GPS Discount These guys have the best price I have seen and have great service...

justin, I just went there and could not find the patch. I think the problem is inside mapsend not my GPS unit...

Where is the patch to fix Map Send's 16 mb limit?

I believe the key is the initial, re-initialization after updating. I was having the same sat-lock problem until then

I have a reader called the Dazzle Fusion that is good for other apps as well. Thanks for the info. Is that override on mapsend?? I'll look Thanks!!

Is there any way to get around this limit in the software when downloading regions? If not does the unit(merigold) seamlessly go from one to the other?? I am using a SD card so I have 64 MB avail...
