+Dangermouse 1968 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi Guys, A couple of questions for MM users:- How do I get MM to keep my position in the middle of the screen - I'm fed up of having to move the map after I've driven off one side. Also, I've just come back from Switzerland - I could not get my Mio to hook onto satellites and locate its position - is that possible without a map of the local area?? Thanks all, David Quote Link to comment

+Master Mariner Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Like "Rutson" said... click on the padlock. You should see that at the bottom of the display on your PDA. I am not usre about having to have a map visible to get a position to display in MM. Did you manage to "see" satellites in any other apps? WHen moving a lengthy distance with the GPS turned off it can take a while longer to get a lock. Quote Link to comment

Thanks all, David Rutson and Master Marinor have it spot on regards keeping the position in the middle of the screen. You can also drag the "locked" position around the screen if necessary to give a better map view As far as not getting a position without a map - you will (as far as I know) need a map of the area to get a "lock". However, I think that you should still be able to get a position reading from your setup. Edited May 24, 2006 by Nediam Quote Link to comment
+drums4monty Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I hope that you dont mind me asking a question in this thread but it is about MM. I am trying to export data from GSAK and import into MM but get a message saying I carnt because It is not a Pro version and cannot use those functions. Can anybody shed any light on this for me?

Somebody else had the same problem very recently. It turned out that their version of MM wasn't up to date and all they had to do was install the update (available through the "Web" "check for updates" on the tool bar). If you are still stuck let us know or contact the memory map support bods (they are very good ) Edited May 24, 2006 by Nediam Quote Link to comment
+drums4monty Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Just looked at the MM Web Site but cannot see a link to update. Quote Link to comment
Nediam Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Just looked at the MM Web Site but cannot see a link to update. It's in the actual Memory Map application Quote Link to comment
+browni Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Is this option to centre and lock the map available to version 4 or is it version 5 only. i have not seen a padlock in 4. Quote Link to comment

I am trying to export data from GSAK and import into MM but get a message saying I carnt because It is not a Pro version and cannot use those functions. Can anybody shed any light on this for me? Are you trying to import into MM on a PDA ? This does need the pro version of MM. You need to import into the desktop version of MM, and then transfer the waypoints to the PDA from there. If it isnt this, what file type are you exporting from GSAK? Edited May 25, 2006 by The Royles Quote Link to comment

I use version 4 and it's on mine It's a small, yellowy/gold coloured icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the PDA screen near the right hand side. As indicated by the red arrow Quote Link to comment
+drums4monty Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I can export and import now, I did the upgrade as suggested. There is still some that I cannot do but that does not really effect me. Many thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment
+browni Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Nediam, Thanks for the info on the padlock, that will teach me to read instructions. Quote Link to comment
Nediam Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Nediam, Thanks for the info on the padlock, that will teach me to read instructions. No problem, hope it helped I started to read the instructions when I first got it, but found trial and error worked much better Edited May 25, 2006 by Nediam Quote Link to comment

If it isnt this, what file type are you exporting from GSAK? I tried to get a "Pro" version of MM last year. I received a reply saying that "The Pro Licence is not available in the UK due to OS licencing restrictions". I frequently pass maps and data betwenn my PC and PDA without a problem. If I go to Help|About the About Window says "Pro features: disabled" with all other options set to "YES". Version is 5.0.6, Build 682. Quote Link to comment
+wigglesworth Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Related to memory map I had a problem downloading cache information / description to MM via GSAK. The referenced response in the GSAK forum showed me the way ! I now click on the cache icon on my pda and view the cache description complete with latest logs. I now only use MM and do not bother with the dedicated programs for viewing cache info. Peter http://www.gsak.net/board/index.php?showto...indpost&p=10792 Quote Link to comment
