needles Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Just got a new GPS unit from my wife... I had told her that I was interested in geocaching, and she surprised me with a MagPlatinum, nice uh? The problem is that I have no idea how to use it, and the manual does not seem to be very user friendly.. (I think the manual assumes the user knows how to use it). Anybody has any 101 user manual, so I can start enjoying the sport? thanks Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Did you get a disk with the gps? My platium came with a disk and that has the full manual in it. If not you can download the manual here and print the entire thing out, if you have enough ink. Magellan Meridian Platium Manual Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote Link to comment
magellan315 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 You may also want to check your local sporting goods store as there are also video tapes available that will teach the basics of using your GPS. Quote Link to comment
NetDep Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 m315 has a great idea and I can also say that getting the videos is a good idea. I got a Garmin V and got both the Garmin video and another that was done more for boaters but still had good info in it. If you had to choo se, based on my experience, I would say get the one done by the maker - seemed better done and more comprehensive and also a little more professional...and enjoy - it does get under your skin pretty QUICK!!!

Chameleon Circuit Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 My boyfriend gave me a Garmin Etrex Vista for my birthday. I'm so excited to have my own. The manual was easy to understand. Now all I have to do is find out which store nearby sells rechargeable batteries and chargers. Quote Link to comment
+clatmandu Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 GP, check out Kmart, Walmart, Target. They all have rechargables. Check on the forums here, there have been several threads about rechargables, which work good, where to get them, etc. Quote Link to comment
