Hello all I had someone see why I couldn't load the cf cards. We discovered that a couple of the pins are bent so I guess I will have to wait to wirk on the gps until I can send my unit back to get fixed. That will be a few months before I can aford it. Is their anything I can do about learning the gps until I am able to learn how to use the gps itself? Thanks lots for your help. Everyone on this list has been great. Rita
