Sarai,
You will want to read the getting started documents in the documents
receiver folder for all the details about your receiver. There is lots to know.
There is no shoulder strap included in the purchase of a receiver or
even with the purchase of a new GPS package. Only the Blue Logger
package comes with a strap for the PK because the original strap with
the PK isn't sufficient and has no loop on it.
All BrailleNotes come with a shoulder strap that will accomodate the
clip from our receivers.

Hi Sarai,
It seemed an age before Anyone wrote anything on the gps and so when
I saw your message, it really pleased me as I feel I already know
you from the bn listing.
You asked about where you put the satalite? You should have
received a shoulder strap and half way up are two little pockets on
it to which the satalite clips to either one, preferably the top
one as the higher it is on your shoulder the better the
reception. The strap can be worn either on left or right side of the body.
As a matter of interest, how many compact flash cards did you
receive? I only received 1 but someone said it should have been two,
although It would have been a blank one, as I seem to have all the
notes needed.
Has anyone told you that in order to read your tutorial you need to
go into the media on what is called the storage card on the pk.
I took the plunge two weeks ago and went out on my first walk alone
for about 7 years at least. It was a little nerve racking as I
didn't know the route as a pedestrian still I felt quite chuffed
when I reached my destination and found the appalling footpaths not a deterent.
I took my third outing and that was on a bus so was pleased at that
result too.
When I came home in the taxi after that bus ride I still had my
gps on but on the loop system and all of it was under my coat as I
could feel controls with hand in my pocket of coat, anyway
the car radio became extremely statically noisy and the
driver showing off with knowledge told us it was to do with the
sun rays! So I quietly turned gps off and the noise stopped too and
never came back. I never said a word! but have been chuckling all
day since. (grin)
I do hope we can all learn lots on gps list as there is so much
to remember.
Cheerio for now.
Telsa.
Ps. I tried to write to you privately but to no avail.
