Jeff,
Yes, your old receiver and maps and other things will still work
on the mPower. You will also notice that things load a lot
quicker and if you are going to get the 3.5 release you will be
able to take advantage of all the new features. There iin't any
other benefit other than the receiver being wireless, but I think
that is a really big benefit itself.
Well, I am not making the call you are.
Kevin

Many thanks! But I don't think I'd buy a new GPS> Would my
current GPS fit
into the M-Power.
I'm curious tho, how much is a new GPS? Also, other than its
being
wireless, what other benefits are there?
Thank you.
Jeff

Jeff,
Yes, you will get a new case because the old case doesn't fit the
mPower and you will also get a new strap. And, on top of that
you will enjoy using the GPS a lot more without the wires if you
decide to go in that direction. I think if you purchase the
whole package including the GPS from Sendero, you will get two
cases and a total of three straps, but I am not sure if they do
tranplants.
Well, I just hope that you do decide to get an mPower and a
bluetooth receiver because it is so much easier and less wpes to
deal with and you also get an additional charger.

Hello All!
HEEEEELLLP! I lost the strap to my nice leather case I really,
really
like and need it for my GPS. Humanware said they did not sell
strap straps
and that I have to buy the whole case. This is absurd.
Any advise, very please?
Also, I am considering trading my Classic for M-Power. Would
they give me a
new case and new strap?????
Thank you.
Jeff

Kevin;
I think you must be one in a very few who got more than one
strap. I got
only 1 in my clasic and also 1 with my transplant Tina, Call
HW and see
if
they can sell you a new strap. If not, let me know, I have a
clasic case
I
could sell if they will not help you.

Tina,
If you are just looking for the straps, I am pretty sure that
the
box that you BN came with should have an extra straps, because
when I received my BN I got a total of three straps. So, I hope
that you are able to find the strap. And just FYI if you have a
mPower you won't need the velcro in orightder to use the GPS,
this only applies to the mPower model not the Clasiic.
I hope this helps you.
Kevin

Joseph, do you know if it's possible to buy just tthe strap for
the bn case?
I broke mine and like all the velcro for someday whenever I get
GPS. just
wondered if i can get that alone or if not, i may have to look at
something
else and just deal with carrying GPS when i have it which won't
be right
away.

This is Joseph. Some laptop cases will not work with BN. There
is a range of
BN cases made by Executive Products and it is recommended by some
os us.

Hi Paul, you should be able to find a case at any
luggage shop. Look at the range of laptop cases.
I bought one by Carlton. It has straps inside
that prevents the mPower from sliding around.
There is more than enough room for a mPower and GPS charger in
the main
case.
The lid has eleven small pouches for storage
cards, cell phone, etc. There is a zippered
compartment on both the inside and outside of the lid
