Mrs ho har

In these situations, where the present hasn't arrived by the required date, I enclose a photo of the item in a gift card and say that delivery is delayed.

Go for it.

Best Wishes,
Peter

Finally its arrived.
I have a couple of questions though-
Does it usually come with maps from Canada rather than Australia?
How do you get it to talk with the PC?

It looks like it is going to take me a long time to sort this out!

Looks like I better hurry up and send you a disc! It will sort out your problems, and provide instructions on how to update it.

I'll try and send it off tomorrow.

Alternatively, you can send it to me with a return postpack and I'll do it for you.

Thanks Ranga,
I'll probably need to send you the GPS. If you do send the DVD, I still don't know how to communicate between the PC and the GPS to be able to download from the DVD anyway.

Hey Ranga,
Before I take you up on your kind offer, I would still like to know how to communicate with the GPS through the PC.
When I plug the GPS into the USB port, an icon comes up in the start bar for a few seconds then disappears???
I cannot see anything extra loaded in 'My Computer'.
Does this need a driver of some sort? It came with no software, so I assume its 'plug n play'.
Or is the only communication through the SD card(that will require some sort of card reader hardware)?
Sorry for being a pest, but even after you have loaded up all the goodies for me, I will still have these problems.
Cheers,
biggin.

not sure if the solutions going to be the same as for the one I did up for the SWMBO but.

its a windows thing.

SWMBOS came up in windows XP no dramas as a removable drive (actually 2 one for the internal units storage and one for its memory card slot)

but Vista didnt want to have a bar of it untill I installed the hacked OS and then it came up as a portable device and tried to sync with it through active sync. The first time It tried to sync I let it and that crashed the GPS so after a reinstall on XP the next time I hooked it up to the vista machine when it asked to set up the sync I selected no and then it came up as the same 2 drives that XP found on the first go round.

Hope thats of some use.
