daltonmasterson Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Found one on sale, and was wondering if they are any good. Looking for a second unit for inlaws. I already have a Galileo accessory pack with cds, download cord, and flashcard. I cant seem to find much info on the web about them. Thanks. DM Quote Link to comment
+Still Searching Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I have found these on sale also but can’t seem to find very much information online. I am also considering one as a spare that the kids can use. Quote Link to comment
daltonmasterson Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 Went ahead and bought one. Yikes. Taking it back tonight. Shuts off sporadically, took over an hour to aquire satellites, and doesnt zoom in for nothing. Dont recomend them. My Ifinder is miles ahead. DM Quote Link to comment

DM do you happen to have any idea how to get the maps to work?? Quote Link to comment
daltonmasterson Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 You mean the maps on the cd? I opened the WMAP icon, then clicked on the area I wanted to put on the compactflash card. Seemed to work alright, and I had decent detail. Then save it to the drive the flashcard is in. DM Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 so you just opened the folders for that state/city and moved it to the card?? You can't view the maps on PC (like is done with Mapsource) ? Quote Link to comment
daltonmasterson Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Somehow I did get a real basic map to open, but there wasnt any detail. Even on the unit there is not a LOT of detail. The POI phone numbers are nice, even if outdated info. DM Quote Link to comment
