[gps-talkusers] how do I get started?

Lloyd,

I will send you some information off list.

In short, you will need a VoiceNote starting at $1395 or a BrailleNote plus the BrailleNote GPS software around $1399. The main decision is whether or not you want a braille display and if so an 18 or 32 cell unit. If portability is essential, then the BrailleNote PK, just under one pound, is the best solution.
In the process of considering the GPS, one must evaluate overall portable information needs.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Maiden voyage was a bust


Hi, guys. Well, my maiden voyage with the new GPS was a bust. I don't think it was because of the program, as I never got far enough along to use it. I turned on my Earthmate, and got gps receiver not detected. Remembering that Carl said to use the m instead of the g for the Earthmate, I went into receiver options. Even though I'd changed it to an m last night after reading his message, it said g. I hit m, and it bounced me out of the receiver options into the GPS menu. I checked, and the receiver was still showing g. I kept trying and trying to reset it back to m, but no go. I tried other receiver settings just for the fun of it, and they took, although of course they wouldn't work. But that blessed m just wouldn't take. I finally decided to do a reset. For those who aren't on the BrailleNote list, I've had a problem with micro drives locking up my mPower when I insert them with the unit on, so I've been trying to remember to insert them with the unit off. If I do it wrong, it corrupts files that run Keysoft, and I end up in a reset loop, where I do one kind of reset and it tells me to do another, then another type, then another type, ad nauseum. Chris from Humanware helped me fix it yesterday; but in my efforts to get things working tonight, I forgot and stuck in the micro drive while the mPower was on, and it locked up and I'm back in my reset loop and don't know all the steps to get my files uncorrupted so my mPower resets work right; and I still don't know how to get the m for the receiver type to take so I can use my Earthmate.
