Mike,
Any idea of what it would cost for the cradle? I bought the Earthmate directly
from Sendero, so any further technical assistance is welcome.
By the way, I DID read the Getting Started guide. That's what's so damn stupid.
The Note wasn't seeing the GPS receiver and I thought I'd just unplug and
re-plug in all cables. (The light was on on the cradle; so it wasn't the
battery). I just wasn't thinking, and there was very little resistance from the
unit. Well, uh, that wasn't too bright. Oh well.
Thanks for the info. And I guess in the meantime, it's back to the old Magellan.
Dave

.Hello Dave,
.
.I have to razz you a bit before answering your question. Now, if I did
.something embarrassing like that, I probably would contact Sendero
.privately rather than telling the world. But, you aren't known for being a
.shy guy.
.
.Those pins are exposed because the latched was not pressed before
.disconnecting the cable or perhaps because it was used as a dog leash.
.
.In any event, contact the dealer from whom you purchased your product for
.technical support. If the cradle was defective, there would be no charge
.for replacement. Since it sounds like you need to purchase a new cradle, it
.may be fastest to do so from Delorme directly 800 349-1896.
.
.Since you brought up this subject, it is important for all users to read
.the Earthmate Getting Started document located in Documents, GPS Receivers
.Earthmate.
