#12 of 1754 new delorme by dudka Sep 17, 2003 (3:12 am)
I got an e-mail from Delorme that they have improved their receiver. The new one is much smaller and only needs 5 seconds to warm up. Big improvment over the older version.   Does that constitute "New for Fall"

do you have the current delorme software and receiver?   I'm having trouble with mine. Its incredibly annoying to plan routes with. I sit here at my desk and try to navigate the map and it keeps beeping every 10 seconds or so and shifts the view on the map to another part of the state (different every time). Really wish I hadn't bought this thing. very frustrating.

Has anyone seen/used the new Garmin iQue3600 PDA/GPS? (www.garmin.com/que) It came out last month and I am curious if anyone has any opinion on it.   Mark

It seems like you have "auto paning" enabled. I was not able to get GPS to work at home.   The only beef I have with the current version of the mapping software is that whenever i veer off route the very annoying voice keeps saying "off route, off route..." and does not recalculate. I have to restart the software to get rid of the bug. Another issue with Delorme is that you HAVE to use Delorme software. I have tried using MS trips and tips, but Delorme receiver has a chip that disables NEMA communications with programs other than Delorme. I am will be checking out Rand McNally and eTrecks as the upgrade.

i'll have to check that out. I thought it might be that auto-centering feature, but I disabled that and still no go. I'll have to find auto-panning.   you'll have to let me know if any other software works. That would be great.

This software really annoys me. So, anyway, I did have the auto-recenter box unchecked because that was one of the things I tried to stop this automatic moving of the map. Of course, the problem still exists. So now I've gone and unchecked EVERY auto option on the GPS tab. This thing continues to beep and change where the screen is centered on the map. I don't even have to do anything. I can just sit there, not touch the mouse or keyboard, and it will continue to beep and shift the view every couple of seconds. So frustrating!
#18 of 1754 Some solutions by dudka Sep 19, 2003 (2:22 pm)
Try running the software with the GPS receiver disconnected. Like I said, I could never get a location fix indoors. I would suggest you call Delorme's tech support and see what they come up with. You may be required to un-install it, restart, install, restart and see if it helped.

There seems to be a new version out this fall. http://www.garmin.com/products/sp2610_2650/index.jsp   Anyone have any experience with these yet?   Aaron
