Just a note - I'm having cradle issues with the one I brought down here. Finds satellites fine out of the cradle, but not very well in the cradle. Brought my old Peaklife as backup and it works just fine.
On another note, I'm having a hard time connecting to the usb port on the gps unit .
I think there is some rubber or plastic preventing the connector from fully seating .
I got the unit working but it just turns off now . I think it may be because the battery is near dead and won't charge .
Have you guys had this problem ?
John - Yes, GPSBabel usually grabs the first and last waypoint for 'names'. I wrote an app that 'fixes' that when it invokes GPSBABEL and downloads to the GPS. I'd be glad to share it if I had way to but .exe installed generally will not email. BTW, my old Peaklife is working like a champ!
I did finally find out how to get back and forth from navigation to the media player. A quick touch of the power button will take you from the navigation software, back to the "desktop", where you can start the media player. Now I have to figure out how to press the power button while wearing gloves.
Thanks for educating me. Perhaps I'll try and pick up the file from you on a USB key at an upcoming RTE
Giz - Most email systems are smart enough to 'see through' changing extensions. Since the install package is .cab file, the .exes are buried in it.
The USB cable that comes with the RAGE has a much smaller amount of plastic so it will properly seat into the unit. So you could use it or trim an existing cable. You should not have to trim the rubber covering on the unit itself.
