I'm afraid to use that. It doesn't list my phone in it's list of safe
phones for the tool. At this point, reading what I have been reading, I am
beginning to fear purchasing this product if I can't even get the demo to
work on my phone. Buying an external receiver is an option but I'd hate to
buy one and still not like the mobile Geo program. What I don't get is that
it is *supposed* to work with an internal receiver but apparently it does
not do so very well.
I am hoping I might be able to get them to extend the trial period since as
of now, I have not yet been able to use it enough to buy it. Especially at
$895.00!!
Thanks, Lynn

Jack
Code Factory provides a little program to do this.
At least they used to.
However, my experience is that the Holux does so superior a job that it
isn't worth using the
built in receiver.
But, if you want to use the built-in receiver go to the code factory page
and fill out the help
ticket and I'm sure they can direct you as to how to do this.
I will say though, that Mobile Geo is very disappointing on the Blackjack
II.
As soon as you create a route, or it seems do aything else, the
announcements for intersections, etc
is disabled and I can's get it back.
