+team travel pig Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 aaargh... yesterday while out, my screen went terribly pale all of a sudden. it's not the batteries, i didn't drop it, nothing unusual, no series of buttons hit... but i can't use it right now - can't see a dang thing on it. it's less than a month old. any clues, anybody? ___________________________________ who's got the pig?

+DustyJacket Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 And THAT is why I use ExpertGPS (or EasyGPS which is free) to store my Waypoints, Tracks, and Routes that are important to me. I do it when I come home from the field. DustyJacket Not all those that wander are lost. But in my case... Quote Link to comment
+EScout Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I have no idea what happened. You might try updating the firmware. If you had an SD card installed, you could have saved the waypoints to it. Even a small card would give you plenty of room to store tracks, waypoints, routes. Quote Link to comment

+Scott Johnson Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 On the other hand... Magellan has great warranty service. Watch it closely and don't hesitate to call them and return it. Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups. Quote Link to comment
