I need some help ===== I created a map useing MapEdit + cGPSmapper --- uploaded it to my Garmin Streetpilot 2720 with Sendmap but the map only displays for a...
What version of firmware is installed in the unit? I ask this because our Garmin users forum has had problems with the latest versions of firmware - when you...
Hello Map Authors! My name is Michele Mattix and I just joined this group. I live in Sedona, AZ, and am an avid recreational and professional GPS (and GIS)...
Hi All I maintain UK airspace maps in Garmin format, see www.ukgarminairmap.wikispaces.com. I produce both transparent and opaque versions but have been asked...
OK, this might be a long shot, but let's put these things together. - A member on another forum has found that the units die when the voltage drops below 7.6V...
Modern electronics normally use an electronic switching regulator to control the internal voltage. So if you are going to measure current drain it is ...
size of wire for the tiny amount of current used here will make very little diff. i would suspect the unit actually works on 7.5VDC. and as pointed out you...
That is correct, I meant voltage - something you can vary over the range of test parameters. Don't listen to what I write, listen to what I mean. I do not...
Disagree times 10. The current carrying capacity of wire is directly related to the outside surface area, not the inner volume. Current is a surface...
You are talking complete rubbish, as you appear to often do. Go back to school, and learn about ohm's law, and resistivity. Current _does_ flow on the inside...
Thank you for the kind and courteous reply. Nonetheless, this will turn out to be the answer to the issue. It is critical to simplify the issues. Not...
Total bull Who taught you electronics! Mike ... From: map_authors@yahoogroups.com [mailto:map_authors@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of MARK NEWBY Sent: 12 July...
Mark, There is a minor problem with your battery life calculations: Ampere-hours do not add when you connect the batteries in series, you just have a higher ...
Hi Bertho, I am not perfect - but all my equipment works in the field when I need it. I spend a lot of time with sealants, machine vibration proof mounts, and...
i think the issue here is one of firmware and how it monitors the sensors of theprocessor. there is only one way to fix this and thats to get the garmin geeks...
Good getting a bit more info now. Have you considered something as simple as rust or oxidisation of the socket involved? A dose of switch cleaner might solve...
I think we are on the right track - the interaction of these parts. Garmin is not going to fix it because they probably do not think it is broken. There is...
My lighter plugs have never had the cigarette lighter installed. I took it out when I bought the truck and threw it in the glove box. If they are used as a...
Sorry for the late response, I don't check in here very often. AFAIK, there is no way to make custom types appear the same in Mapsource as on the GPS. This is...
So you do not think that I may have done something wrong when I created the map and it's properties ----- I had a simular problem once before and after playing...
hi, I hope travelling soon in South America and particularly Chile. In my travels i am using Oziexplorer and I would be very happy if a member of this group...
Thanks Boyd, It looks, from your example jpegs, that you were successful in creating a transparent map, which is also an important feature I am hoping to...
The maps in my example were not transparent actually, everything is contained in the same file(s). I use GlobalMapper to create my sources files, then export...
Hey all, I'm a student at Stanford University working for a nonprofit startup that is centered around helping orphans in Ghana. Anyways to cut to the point,...
I do not believe at this time that the display dying out is a firmware issue. I reserve the right to change my opinion if new information comes to light....
You p'haps might be on the right track [pun] but it will still be a firmware issue, I would also get clear upon what you are putting it down too. I doubt very...
