So Peggy, does the M1000 work better than your old light probe as a receiver? See, the real truth is that your husband doesn't want you giving him better navigation then he can do on his own! Besides, guys just don't want to admit when they are lost. Jim

So if it looses a connection, do you just get the "no fix, acquiring satellites" thing? I'll have to read more carefully about what to do after resets and stuff, just so I don't find myself out and about somewhere with a lost fix, panicking. <grin>Peggy http://kernsac.livejournal.com/----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Chao" <g.unit89@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 8:41 PM Subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: I'm amazed!Peggy,Yeah, the M-1000 is quite something, especially at looking at how fast it is able to acquire a fix and maintain a good one.I never used the Serial EarthMate, but did use the Bluetooth EarthMate and from time to time I will just do a side-by-side comparison and am still astonished at the results. The Earthmate will take quite longer to pull in satellites and if it does it will only pull in 3 at the most while the M-1000 pulls in 10 easily within a matter of 30 or so seconds.It turns out that there is a one-handed keystroke for the backsspace with r command and that is backspace with b. I find that I use this command quite frequentley because the bluetooth connection may drop for an unknown reason. It is really nice to be able to hit this command while you are walking out the door and you are golden afterwards.I think other than knowing that single command there isn't much that you shouldn't figure out just from using it.Kevin----- Original Message ----- From: "Peggy Kern" <kernsac@xxxxxxxxx>To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 8:30 PM Subject: [gps-talkusers] I'm amazed!Well, I still haven't left the house, but I just paired the receiver, and set my GPS program to use the Bluetooth receiver. I'm sitting here inside my house, and as soon as I entered the program, I got an instant fix, with where I am, and a good fix! It was amazing! I looked in the documentation and committed backspace with r to memory, in case I lose a connection. Is there anything else I should commit to memory, so I don't go into panic mode if I'm out and about and lose a connection? I'm sitting here in amazement!Peggy http://kernsac.livejournal.com/
