[gps-talkusers] Re: Earthmate receiver

Mike,
Just found this message before I sent one asking about the shoulder
strap. Sorry about that and thank you. At the time I wrote to the list,
I hadn't received my compact flash card. Speaking of, is it a type 1 or
2 card?

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.
