Hi,
My previous system crashed. I am now trying to reinstall MapSource
and CN V8. I have half a dozen mapsource files, but all ask for a
previous version. The first Garmin tech was unable to help (waited
20 minutes) She transferred me to the software support and the
message indicated a wait of at least 30 minutes.
Does anyone know a way to skip all the obstacles?
You say you have "half a dozen mapsource files"; I>m guessing these

It sounds like you have CN V8 on DVD; if so, there should be an
installation or setup program on the DVD which will install some
version of MapSource and copy the maps onto your PC. Once you have the
base version of MapSource on your PC, you can apply the latest
MapSource update and be done with it.
Someone posted a procedure for faking out the update process to

in alt.satellite.gps.garmin. Maybe it works.
You>ll still have to go through the unlock procedure for the maps

If the file contains waypoints and routes then they should be upward
compatible. If they contain map areas then you would have to reselect
the map area with the new maps in Mapsource. Most of the newer GPS
receivers do not need you to download the maps areas since they are
built-in. |

01.05.2008 Jää historian kirjoihin erityispäivämääränä josta alkaa ydinalan
vaikeudet kasautumaan aivan erityisesti myös Suomessa. Jo siitä asti kun
puollisentoista vuotta sitten Krister Fuuglesangin NASA:n
avaruusionisaatioraportin tiedot maapalloa kohtaavasta vääjäämättömästä
ydinvoimapäästöjen megatuhosta vuodettiin maailman päättäjille ydinalan
alasajon välttämättömyys on ollut tiedossa. Samasta pohjasta jopa IPCC
ennakoi koko ilmastojärjestelmän tuhoa 10v sisällä. Mutta toukokuusta alkaa
myös tietomuruja mainiyusta maailmanhistorian suurimmasta
ydinkatastrofitulemisesta vuotaa, esim. kauttani viimein suuren kansanmassan
tietoisuuteen. Mistä tarkemmin on kyse. Maailman metastabiilinen
perustaustataso on 10-kertaistunut totaalisen tuhoisaan suuntaansa
romahdellen. Luonto itsessään viestittää katastrofaalisista
mehiläistuhoviesteistä ja vastaavantyyppisistä
ydinkampamaneetti-invaasioista kiihtyvästi. Einsteinin 5v
mehiläishäviämisnäytöistä ennakoima ionosfäärituho on vyöryämässä kaikin
merkein ihmiskunnan kohtaloksi.
Onnistuin saamaan ydinalan silkaksi kauhuksi YVA 4/TEM tiedostoihin
maininnat siitä, että tulevat sukupolvet voivat myös arkistofaktojen
perusteella tuomita nykyiset ydintoimitsijat, firmat ja päättäjät ydinalan
kansainväliseen Nyyrbergin oikeudenkäyntiin päättäjiemme nyttemmin kiistatta
tietämistä rikoksistaan ihmiskuntaa vastaan. Niin pitkälle on prosessi
edennyt, että Sisäministeriö jo panikoi tämän tulevan faktan tietäen!
YLE-teksti-TV kirjoitti, miten vähin äänin oli muutettu maamme lakia
rajusti: " Rikoksista ihmisyyttä vastaan on toimeenpantu lakimuutos 01.05
lukien, että jatkossa henkilöitä, ryhmiä ja teollisuuslaitoksia jne. jotka
tuomitaan erittäin raskauttavista (ydin) ja sotatoimista kansaansa vastaan
ja rikoksista ihmisyyttä vastaan ei voida tuomita Suomesta kansainvälisiin
Haagin tuomioistuimiin saamaan jopa kuolemantuomioitaan. Vaan jopa näin
rajuista rikoksista langetetaan korkeintaan Suomen lainsäädännöllä paikan
päällä maksimirangaistukseksi rajaten vain elinkautisiksi! Siis huh, hu
alkaa ydinherrojemme polvet tutista alati kasvavien ydinrikosilmitulojen
paineissa! Ilmankos Heiniluoma sanoi, ettei Suomeen TVO:n kaavailemia
isotooppilaitostartteja ja ydinvoimaloittemme keskeisiä
plutoniumpoltto-oikeuksia, uraanikaivosmassiiveineen ja
ydinjätekäsittelyineen EU:sta kiirehditä. Vaan oltiin yht äkkiä sitä mieltä,
ettei edes seuraavakaan hallitus tunke kokoomuksen/TVO/Posiva:n
suunnattomaksi mieliharmiksi lupaa hakien kansantahtoa vastaan
edellämainittuihin NATOn hyväksymiin-optiotoimiin.
02.04-08. Uutiset kertoivat, että jälleen kerran oli Norjassa 200km Oslosta
pohjoiseen Ottessa sortunut tektoniliikunnasta 300m pitkä ja 50m leveä
kalliorinne ja allle oli hautautunut vähintään 150 hengen pakolaisvirran
startanneen väestön kymmenet talot. Edellisestä tästä kuuluisasta 2500 km
pitkästä Laatokka-Skotlantitektonisesta Litoraanisaumalikunnasta Olkiluodon
läpi olimme saaneet viestejä Norjasta 5 hengen kuolemaepäilystä ja 7m
liikuneesta vuorirojahduksesta kuukausi sitten. Päivän selvästi tämä
kyseinen maailman syvin maanpäällinen tektonisauma on hurjasti
aktivoitumassa. Niin ruotsalaisvoimalat, kuin Olkiluodon kaikki laittomasti
mm. kallioon ankkuroidut ydinvoimalat tulevat liikuntojen murskaamina
joutumaan suunnattomiin vaikeuksiin. 5cm/v liikuva sauma kun tuottaa
jatkossa ruotsalaisopein huikeita mitattuja yli 8 Rihterin maanjäristyksiä!
Edes vuoden takaista 450m kallioliikuntoa Ruotsissa saati saman aikaista 14
Norjan luolan tuhoa ei olla uskallettu tutkia julkisesti. Virannoimaisten
panikointi muutti jo nyt koko Ruotsin tektonisaumaan ydinjätehautauskuviot
totaalisesti syväporausmalleihinsa. Esimauksi myös Suomeen 10 kertaistuneine
lisämaksuin turvarajamuutospakoin. Mutta kaikesta näkee, ettei luonto tähän
tyydy, vaan pahentaa odotettaan alati! |

The governing spec for airborne WAAS equipment RTCA DO-229
requires the User Differential Range Error (UDRE) to be 15 m or less
before a ranging source is a allowed in a precision approach
(vertical
navigation) solution. The GEOs can be used as ranging source for
Non-precision approach (horizontal only) if the UDRE is 150 m or
less.
The GEOs can also be used any time the UDRE is other than Do Not
Use or Not Monitored in non-safety of life applications.
The WAAS GEOs currently have an artificial UDRE floor of 50 m.
UDRE is a 4 bit number, 50 is the next size after 15. That floor will
be
changed to 7.5m later this summer when the next version of WAAS
software is fielded.

I have a Nikon D3 and I recently bought a GPS from Dawntech in Hong

The unit is about the size of a "fat" thumbdrive and it plugs in to
the Nikon>s 10-pin connector. There is also a 10-pin socket on the
GPS body, so you can use the GPS as the same time as a Nikon remote
release or timer release. Very convenient.
The D3 will automatically detect the GPS and display a small GPS icon

About $325 shipped.

I know some (not mine) cameras actually log GPS information into the EXIF
data but maybe we can buy/build our own with a universal GPS "tracker".
I>d be happy if I could tape onto my camera strap a small "device" that
lasted a long time on battery (a week or more would be nice) and which
logged exactly where my camera strap was.
Then I would stand a chance of figuring out at which location any
particularly interesting shot was taken by comparing the EXIF time and date
with that GPS log.
Does such a passive tiny GPS logging device exist at an affordable price
(~$300 USD or so).

I live full-time in a motorhome and carry a dirtbike for exploring and

Pain In The Ass (PITA) to get initial lock and maintain tracking. I use this
GPS almost every day recording my tracks and wapoints of potential camp
sites and interesting places. Unfortunately this GPS will only store 500
active waypoints at a time and I need one that will do 100,000 or more. It
will also only display one active track and I would like a thousand or more
stored and actively displayed. It does have a SD memory card but switching
wapoint lists and stored tracks is a PITA.
I want an AGPS that is augmented by cell-phone signals, and other position
signals. I want a huge multi-gigabyte memory that is active all the time. I
want a big screen that is visible while riding fast. I want built-in topo
maps that have backwoods roads and hiking trails and trailheads.
I keep looking for a new GPS that is better than my old Magellan but nothing
seems to be out there yet. Let me know if you know of a unit that will meet
my specs.
You need a computer!

Your mapping/display needs can probably be met by any Garmin mapping GPS.
You need to use your data - tracklogs and waypoints to make Garmin-format
maps. The waypoints can be points-of-interest, and the tracklogs can be
roads, or trails, or whatever.
I think you can display as many of each as you like - within reason...
This is much easier than it sounds. I understand that it can also be done for
magellan mapping GPS receivers, but I only have experience with making Garmin
maps.
I have to ask, why you need 100,000 waypoints - it makes me wonder if you are
using waypoints efficiently. Your woods must be much more interesting than
anywhere that I have ever hiked.
are you giving every tree its own waypoint?
The SIRF or other "enhanced" chips will work much better in forested areas than
your current unit. |

Hi Robbo,
If it are not many stations and you have RINEX data you can try the following service for free:
http://www.gps-solutions.com/
Click on "on-line processing".
There is an other free service you could use (also requiring RINEX data as input). Check out:
http://www.geod.nrcan.gc.ca/products-produits/ppp_e.php
If you are in need of a real service for your customers I could help you as well. Feel free to contact me if you are interested!
Cheers,
Tim
