Dear Listers, There is never a dumb question about computers, BrailleNote included. In my job as a programmer, I occasionally instruct users in the use of software and hardware. When I entertain even the dumbest questions from a user, that user then understands. That user then goes on to successfully use the software and hardware, and, to ask more advanced questions. I truly appreciate that most of my fellow listers handle questions this way.
Sincerely, Jerry Weinger ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 10:42 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] List manager, handle this person please Ann, Months ago I had you make fun of me from asking a question. Now you call me elementary. I ask the list manager to shut this person up, control the list, or kick her off. The last time she opened her mouth, she sent me a private email saying a made a spelling mistake and made fun of me ten different ways. Handle this please. danny -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ann Parsons Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 4:49 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] GPS new user with questions Good morning, Daniel, >>>>> "Daniel" == Daniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Daniel> Please answer below questions.

We like you Daniel, but your questions are so elementary, that perhaps we are wondering if you really mean to ask the questions, or if you are just trolling to see who will respond to you. Daniel> Hi list, I just received the GPS and have a few questions Daniel> below I would like explained if at all possible. 1. The Daniel> manul keeps referring to a documents folder with a getting Daniel> started folder. I do not have that folder at all. Where did you look for the folder? Did you look on the flashcard? This is different from the flashdisk. (BTW, PDI, this may be confusing to some folks.) Daniel> 2. I have only the 256 mg compact flash card. What is the web Daniel> site for me to get a card big enough to hold more than one Daniel> map at a time? <sigh> The single map is on the flahsdisk, not the flashcard, Daniel. Yes, this confused me for a while too, but if you look on your flashcard, you will find that there is some room. As far as getting larger storage, look at your local computer store or computer show. You need to buy the cards that are accepted by the BN, this info is in the manual for the BN. Daniel> 3. Confused on vertual mode explained Daniel> below. a. If I want to explore a city point of interest Daniel> in another state, can I only do this by using the Daniel> lattitude and longitude points? Can I look the city up Daniel> another way without the maps loaded for that state? <sigh> This is what we mean by trolling, Daniel. How do you expect to get the info if you don't have the map for that area loaded? You can't get it out of thin air! There are no dumb questions, but this one is a puzzler. Daniel> b. If Daniel> we are driving into another state, and I do not have maps Daniel> loaded for that particular state, will the commands works Daniel> for altitude, speed, city/state/zip, but not the x command Daniel> for next intersection? Is that correct? No, that is not correct. You will get altitude, latitude and longitude and speed, but you will not get anything related to map data! Daniel> 3. Summary: I Daniel> really want all the ways I can explore another state or Daniel> city points of interest other than by latt/long. If not Daniel> possible, that is okay also. If the map for that state, ***all five maps for that state*** then you can explore by city and street. You might ask your counselor or your O & M instructor to explain more about this. equipment.
