    I think that I can HELP YOU. To do a screen capture: Press the Print Screen Key (RT. of F12) you will not see any thing happen,........ then go to > Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint > click on the screen > press and hold > Ctrl > V .........you will be able to see the page that you need to capture. Then you go to the top left of the page to > File > Send to ......and you can email to your friend. :D

    Booger and The Grub~

    I will start with the fact that I am computer "CHALLENGED". With regard to you and several others noting that you removed the "Intel Application Accelerator" , I looked for this specific wording in the control panel's 'Add/Remove Programs' and the only Intel listing was ...."Intel Ultra ATA Storage Driver" on my computer. I did not remove that driver for fear of falling off of the cliff. <_< Do you have any other advise???

    Thanks Embra for responding. Even if I new how to un-install the Intel Application Accelerator ?? I would NOT go to that extent.

    After all of the negative comments that have been express about Magellan's new Direct Rout CD and the fact that the Copy Protected CD will not function on some computers DVD drives even after the apparent successful install ??? You would think that Magellan would come out with a software work around to correct the problem because of the potential loss of sales as more people learn about this.

     

    I will just waite and see what happens with correcting this problem and not load the V5.12 version update CD into my Meri/Plat because the V4.06 is working fine.

    Well Gentelmen I am now caught on the same horns of the dilemma that others have been addressing on this thread. My son purchased Direct Rout for my birthday and I was able to install both disks, but when I try and just look at the CD to see just what it is that I have, the computer will not recognize the disk

     

    I have removed the disk and reinstalled on two occasions and it still will not load up. I am running Win. ME on a two year old Dell , with a DVD drive and compact disk rewritable drives and nether one will load up.

     

    I did a search to get to this thread and notice that it is last dated Dec. 31,2003 so it is old,.....has any body found out just what the latest fix is other than requesting my (gift) money back

    Question for Magellan Sportrak and Mapsend Topo Users

    Embra~

    Once again you have answered one of my long standing questions about how to set up the Position-Destination line. You are truly a learned professor of this wonderful machine.

     

    One of these days,....when you have lots of time on your hands, it would be very helpful if you would post a check list of settings for the MeriPlat that the average Geocacher would use just like the one above.

     

    I know that the answers are in the BOOK if you can stand to read it,.... But you have a unique way of explaining things that turn on the light of understanding. icon_cool.gif

     

    Thanks again for your help. Jerry

    Head set microphone and ear phone for FRS/GMRS radios

    in Ham Radio

    Posted

    I purchased a couple of Motorola T6400WX, FRS/GMRS, 1 watt radios to use on our ATVs for communication. They work very well and have good range, but they are cumbersome to hand hold and talk while riding. I know that several of you have solved this problem by installing head phones and microphones into your helmets and as yet I have not purchased these so far because they are a little spendy, $50 per radio.

     

    I was thinking that with all of the different combinations of Earphones and VOX actuated Microphones that sell for around $20/ radio that are now available for Cell Phones that some one has come up with a cheaper unit that will work on the Motorola GMRS radios.

     

    I seem to thrash my equipment at times, so I have been looking for something along the line of readily available, cheaper Cell Phone Ear/Mike equipment that will work with our radios,.....What have you found???

    Good morning Desert_Warrior~

     

    You said..."Do you actually BELIEVE that GWB had ANYTHING to do with this?"

     

    My answer=...Did GWB personally get involved in the details of the no code decession.....NO, But GWB's administration's appointee to the FCC happens to be Colin Powell son and they all march to the tune whistled by the leader GWB. Do you think that the no code requirement would have happened under the Kilngton debacle ??? I don't think so.

    Dropping the code requirements is the best news that I have herd about the ham radio hobby in several years. icon_biggrin.gif

     

    The questionable need to transmit ditty-dum-dim-ditty for at last the past 10 years, has caused a lack of interest in several potential hams.This is jeopardizing the take over and loss of bandwidth reserved for hams because of a lack of use and interest in obtaining the code proficiency that is required for the General license.

     

    The few die-hard Hams icon_mad.gif that will continue to gripe and demand a code requirement that is now,.... so obsolete, icon_rolleyes.gif will scream like mashed cats because of this rulling, icon_eek.gif.....But that is what happened to the buggy whip manufactures when the automobile made horses as an obsolete method of transportation as the code is to communication. Now sit back and watch the radio industry gear up to the demand and we all benefit.

     

    One more positive thing that the GWB administration has liberated us from, Thank you Mr.President. icon_biggrin.gif

    Magellan software upgrade

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    Wow.....Do they, Magellan even offer the up graded CD for purchase??

     

    You would think that because of the ammount money that I have spent on my ToPo CD,and GPS that free upgrades would have been good costumer relations. Most other Company's (Microsoft) offer free firmware and software updates as a part of a continued effort to keep their existing costumer base, and to show good will to future purchasers of their products.

     

    Magellan may have this in mind for a future updates... but they are so darn SLOW to post them on their web page.

    I'm think I'm going to throw in the towel

    Hang in there BUD.....you have all the GOOD tools, you just need time to learn how to use them. You dont pick up a violin and the next day play at the Metropolitan Opera House.

     

    You are among friends here...so just ask your questions.

     

    I would hate to see you loose so much money on your purchase because $250 is to cheep a price for all that stuff.

    TotemLake answered the question....The Magellan site only gives a link to update the GPSr, but has no listing to update the ToPo.

     

    Gentlemen~

    My next question....Now that I have upgraded my ToPo software to v4.20c from v3.00a on the computer.( v3.00a was origially used to load the regions map info. on to my 64Mb SD) Will I need to reset and reload the the upgraded v4.20c on to my SD card to get any benefit of the software upgrade onto my GPSr ?????

     

    The download of v4.20a was smooth and self installed on the computer....but on first look was not able to see any difference.

    Looks like I am once again in need of your good advise.

     

    I have been looking for several months at the Magellan web site for software upgrades to my MapSend ToPo v 3.00a that came with my Meri/Plat and they are not listing any.

     

    your link http://www.ftp.kkc.tzo.com/Magellan/index.htm to MapSend Top v 4.20c up grade is not on the Magellan site........It looks like I need some of that good advise from you on this.

     

    If I download from your mentioned link....will it automatically upgrade my existing v 3.00a version ???

     

    Why is Magellan not listing this software upgrade on their site ???

     

    And last but not least....is there a listing of what v4.20c upgrades are ?????

     

    Thanks Mr.Embra (Max) in advance. And I think that I can speak for us new-bees out here when I say that it is people like you that makes this hobby fun when you give freely of your experience to others that are struggling like me to figure this darn thing out. THANK YOU. Jerry
