tholt4 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Hey -I just discovered that you can enter your name, address & phone number that will show up on power on by going to the the Main Menu page and selecting the options menu at the top of the screen. This is not addressed (that I can see) in the owners manual. Just thought I'd pass this on to anyone that might not know it. Quote Link to comment
+Notorious James Gang Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Just tried it and it works just fine. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment

That was added in an OS update back in December of 2002. Quote Link to comment

What will they think of next?! I think there should be some way to enter waypoints into them....... It'd be really cool if these things could record where you've been, y'know? ...And show it on a map - kinda like a trail of bread crumbs. That way you could not only know how to go somewhere, you could even find your way back! Just imagine actually being able to upload this information to a computer too! Maybe someday...

Neo_Geo Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 (edited) Not to mention to have kewl little symbols that look like open and closed treasure chests....caches if you will.. HEY!!! We could start a game where we hide things in parks and publish GPS coordinates to the items on the Internet. Other people with GPSrs could get the coordinates and go look for the items!!! We could use the closed treasure chest icon for an item that hs not been found, and an open chest icon for one that has been found!! The Web site where the coordinates are posted could have forums for discussing topics such as the game and GPSrs and software. The game could expand to finding USGS Benchmarks... Holy... This could catch on BIG! Edited February 7, 2004 by Neo_Geo Quote Link to comment
