  1. I just downloaded my first set of maps to my PN-20 via SD card. Very fast. Here's the tip. Don't have the GPS and the card reader hooked up at the same time. The Topo 6 will only "see" the GPS. I was scratching my head for awhile on this one. I even tried shutting Topo down, thinking it needed to detect the reader. Then I decided to unplug the GPS and it worked.

  2. Just curious. Didn't it come with instructions?

     

    Not that I could find. I got the deluxe kit, so I had tons of documentation. It was probably hiding somewhere. I just got it 2 days ago and hoped they bad batteries were a thing of the past. It seemed to have charged OK. Was the only symtom that they wouldn't work?

  3. I just got mine today. Just barely had time to let it sync up to it's new location and to install Topo 6.0. Since it looks nothing like Mapsource or Topo!, I'm lost.

    What steps have you taken so far?

    Not much so far. I had to go to bed because I worked 5 AM until 1PM today. Now I need a nap before I go to a family function. Maybe tomorrow.

  4. It was waiting in the barn when I got home this evening. I got it (what's the word for getting it set up with it's new locale?) synced. Initiated may be the proper word. Topo is gonna take me awhile to figger out. Mapsource was almost easy comparatively speaking.

  5. I just ordered the Deluxe package. My stupid bank takes it's sweet time paying my credit card (from another bank), so I had to phone and talked to a very nice young fellow in Maine to order. Did that make any sense? I notice more and more Internet stores charging sales tax. Anyone else noticed this?

    Good deal. I'm sure that you will like it. Do you have any experience with Delorme mapping?

     

    I have not been making that many on-line purchases recently so I have not noticed.

     

    This will be my first time with DeLorme software, but I've been using Mapsource for nearly 3 years.

     

    I ordered it about 2PM EST, they shipped it the same day, and according to the tracking #, it's already left Boston at 7:52 this morning.

  7. Wow! I can't believe this thread is still alive for alomost 3 years. I sold my 60 CS to my brothr last year and got a 76CSx. Still Garmin all the way. Haven't Geocached locally for about 2 years, but We did some out waest last Spring in W. TX, NM, CO, and AZ.

  8. One thing about Amazon is that they play mind games with their prices! Shop around the Internet (with cookies ENABLED), and Amazon will be competitive. If you shop there a lot and they see that you haven't been shopping for GPSrs elsewhere, the price will be higher! Always shop 5 or 6 places on the Internet before making a final commitment!

     

    Are you saying they'll charge "Joe" (who hasn't comparison shopped) more than "Tom", who has, for the same item? That is unethical and should be banned.
