So, I have the software, the old software, if I get an updated version, I can get a new receiver that is not the Magellan? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Ellen Earls" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 3:44 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] GPS and guide dog
Well veddy interesting. I have a Magellan 310 and it actually worked better than the Magellan sportrak I have. I actually like my 310 a whole lot. You go through sendero and they will supply you with the Delorme Earthmate which is far more accurate much smaller and you have 1 tiny switch as opposed to many buttons on the 310. The receivers of today are just so superior to those of the 310 era so go through Senderogroup for anything related to the Braille Note and gps if you want the very best in coverage and accessories. A strange thing about the Magellan is that the batteries have to go in backwards and they are sometimes rather persnickity. But the 310 was a wonderful receiver for its day.
