+user13371 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've just been handed one at work and need to set it up to use with one of the laptop computers in our GIS dept. Out of the box it just seems to me to be a big Windows Mobil handheld device; still downloaind the assoicated MobileMapper site from M's ftp site. Anything I tricky I concerned about, or anything cool I should try before I handed it back to the department? Quote Link to comment
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You can create custom maps for it. What version of MobileMapper Office are they up to now? Quote Link to comment
+user13371 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 What version of MobileMapper Office are they up to now?Mobile Mapper 6 version 1.0.1.1 is what I got from Magellan's FTP site. ftp://ftp.magellangps.com/Mobile%20Mapping/MobileMapper%206/ Quote Link to comment
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 There's a resource here, but I'm not sure how much help it will be. It's primarily aimed at creating maps with MMO and getting them on Magellan consumer handhelds. It's been a long time since I messed with it, but you can import shapefiles, MapInfo files and AutoCAD files using MMO. I think you might be able to get raster imagery into the device with it, but I'm not sure. Have fun! Quote Link to comment
+trainlove Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Can you let me know if it has the same secret menus as the Meridians? I've been told it's based on that circuitry. And can you let me know if the Mobile Mapper software has the ability to pull almanac/ephemeris information off the GPSr and to be able to put it on the GPSr. With particular emphasis on the WAAS/EGNOS satellites. Thanks. Ray P.S. Can you tell me how to get one cheap? LOL. Quote Link to comment
+user13371 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Can you let me know if it has the same secret menus as the Meridians? Nope, nothing in the hardware or firmware is remotely similar to legacy M products. ftp://ftp.magellangps.com/Mobile%20Mappin...FAQs%20v2.2.pdf ...can you let me know if the Mobile Mapper software has the ability to pull almanac/ephemeris information off the GPSr and to be able to put it on the GPSr. ....Seriously doubt it. The PC side of the MobileMapper package lets you do a lot of post-processing on received data, but not for updating the GPS firmware. Can you tell me how to get one cheap? LOL.Get a job working with the product? Either on the technical side or a vendor? ps: after I posted this, I did peek at the invoice. it was around $1300 delivered...
