  1. here is the message received Sorry, we could not find a member using those log in details. I have validated the account...so and I can login to my account, I just can't login to the message board, so it must be that you have to wait 24 hours to login to the board as it states
  2. last night I created a new ID and password, I keep trying to login this morning and it says that the user name or password cannot be found...do I have to wait the 24 hours to login ? I though it was 24 hours just to post? I should go premium I guess?
  3. can I change it somehow?
  4. Hey I live in Woodstock and am going camping this Friday!!
  5. That was the answer I was looking for....thanks Embra!
  6. Any ideas before I buy the MapSend Topo? I just want to make sure I can use both simultaneously
  7. Being new to this please forgive my ignorance (please ) If I create a region in topo and a region in mapsend direct and I load the Topo region as active, is there a way to display the topo maps and also will the roads and streets poi etc, be overlaid with the Topo map? The reason I ask is because I do not have topo and I am looking to buy it, so when I am driving if I have topo loaded will it still show streets and directions etc?? Thanks for any help
  8. You were right...I asked to speak to a supervisor and it was the same guy that helped me in the beggining...he said rick we have a fix for you and pointed me righ to the serial number. The serial number on the back of the Unit that you register with is not the same as the one from the help display options.. Ok, so I have to repent and say that I now love the unit and I need to be more patient with customer service.. He (support) helped me with a few other things to ....
  9. AHHHHHHHH Now they want me to send them a copy of my invoice and they will mail me new Directmap software..... Screw this, I think I will send the unit back to the place I bought it and be done with Magellan@!
  10. I cannot get a region loaded on my 500, when I click on the upload to GPS, it tells me I have selected the wrong GPS type to upload (I have Explorist selected) I have talked to support three times, they todl me to reload Mapsend Direct 3.0 I did, still can't get the region on the gps, the software won't communicate with the gps. Anyone else ever see this?? Ahhhh they kill me The honey moon was nice
  11. Ok, I called customer support....what a nice, nice person, they were so patient with the "idiot" me With version 3.0 Mapsend Direct I just save directly to the unit (as it appears as a hard drive) I felt foolish LOL
  12. I follow what you are saying but conversion manager does not look for a .upt file or a .rte Conversion manager is looking for a .wpt or a .trk file So I have nothing to convert because the 2 file formats are diferent??? This is confusing and frustrating...
  13. Ok, so I know playing with this thing and I created a route, converted it to way points, when I save the route it saves it as a .upt and a .rte file, now when I use the conversion manager to put it on the explorist 500 that application is looking for .wpt or .trk file format....did I miss something here?? Same for the region, I created a region in Mapsend, now in the transfer/convert utility it is looking for different file extension names
  14. Thanks Roddy, I was wondering if I could turn it on while it is charging so this is good to know. My main question was with the unit off is there an indication it is charging...you know a little LED somewhere like all my cameras have.. So far the only thing I have done with this is play with the pretty color screens
  15. Ok, so I just got my new Explorist 500 minutes ago, I plugged it in to charge (they say 4 hours) my question is this, is there any outward indication on the unit that it is charging?
  16. Anyone know where you can buy the AAA pack so I can also use AAA batteries with my 500? Thanks
  17. Actually found my answer here http://www.magellangps.com/support/faqdeta...amp;prodid=1072 So 2 gig "should work" LOL
  18. Thanks, does anyone know what the max memory limit (SD Card) is allowed for the 500?? I can;t seem to find that listed anywhere??
  19. Ok, so I decided to go with the Explorist 500 (not LE) since it was a good compromise on price and features. It came with Mapsend Direct DVD and I plan to buy the topo map software.....soooo How much memory (SD card) should I get to store both on the unit, I travel with work quite a bit and want to have everything already on the unit? Thanks much
  20. Yes customer support with a language you can understand is a good point...I do hope that I don't have to call customer support very often The Nimh is a good idea I have to do that with a voice recorder I use I was just hoping that Garmin had the option to just plug in the unit and charge. I do think the answer to get 2 units is correct, one for the car and one for personal use..... Can someone answer this question... I read many comments about being able to read the compass even when standing still... Yes please laugh at my ignorance...but I would think I would be standing still when checking the compass always...unless driving....
  21. yes I have seen comments as your on this site a lot!
