I have wanted to use USAPM as a real time GPS utility for awhile now. With the recent netbook type mini-laptop computers, I think it is finally practical to...
I just got a Garmin GPSmap 76GSx. I am learning how to use this GPS and am a novice. I am working on waypoints and a route for a December float of the lower...
It seems to me you have several choices for ways to do this, but you have the concept right and it will work. Use can use Garmin's MapSource software on your...
... I have an Asus eee that I bought for motorcycle touring (fits better in the luggage than a full- sized laptop, the SSD is immune to shock unlike rotating...
Hi, Just for fun, I fired up USAPM under an older version of the WINE emulator under Slackware Linux. Actually was able to get the program to fire up and...
Hello all. I have used this program off and on for quite a while. For some reason, it will not connect to download maps the last few times I have used it. ...
... Have you tried the program on another computer on your network, or moved your computer to another network? This would help to isolate the issue to your...
Dave, Thank you for your answer. As for the first suggestion, I don't know why I didn't think of it, must've had a brain fart. I just went over and installed...
... That's a Windows trick most people don't know. Most of those pop up dialogs with just some text and buttons at the bottom can be copied to the clipboard as...
I am driving on a trip out West and plan to use USA PM with a bluetooth receiver to track where I am at any given time. It will be interesting to see just how...
Main thing I like about USAPM is I can download the maps I need in advance then travel to the area. They'll be cached and ready for use. Don't have to have a...
I see Tiger data downloading erratically. I think it may be related to USAPM losing focus or some other UI interaction. If I leave the computer alone, it...
I also see a similar anomaly when downloading map data. If I switch focus to another window (usually hiding the USAPM window, when I return, the download can...
I figured out how to reproduce the problem while downloading topo map data. If I have no grids loaded to the left of an area of X grids (but images already...
I am on dialup at some times when I am downloading data. So I can see the data crawl by. Watching the progress I see that at any time the byte count can...
Rick,   The maps are pretty big and dialup is very slow. Plus it might get jiggered around depending on how good the phone line is. If you have a...
Yes, I know that. The maps are always loaded into "cache". That is what I am doing, loading them onto the drive so that they are there to use as I drive. ...
Any possibility of having the number "1" key functionality enabled for topo maps? Also, would there be any possibility of being able to zoom out further in...
Would it be hard to add the 1 function to the topo display? I would also like to see that. I am in the process of downloading data for a cross country trip...
Well, I remembered the '1' key routine was hard, but I looked at it again, and I suppose I could copy it and change a few things for Topos. I'll probably do it...
I just bought a new Delorme Earthmate PN-40 which was an upgrade from a Garmin GPS V and love many aspects of the new GPS. The major issue I'm having with it...
Click on the GPS tab and read the help file. There are some notes there that may help you get your Delorme interfaced. The Garmin Interface it the preferred...
One of the reasons I eliminated the Delorme PN-40 GPS units from my GPS query for a newer unit, is because it was not compatible and would probably not be in...
I am downloading a lot of data and decided to give Terrafetcher a try. I can't seem to get it to download any data. I created a small route and converted it...
Have not tried the path option yet, only the region. But have you tried the region option yet? Do you know that the "install" of terrafetcher is good; might be...
I don't mind. It can bug me when people post one line asking if I know how to turn on the PC or something equivalent, but your post was worth reading. I used...
