Hi Mary Ellen and All,
You know, I do recall you telling us where you found it a few weeks ago;
however, well, seeing as I hadn't ordered mine at that time, guess I didn't
retain the information. But, thanks for telling me again.
Actually, though, someone sent it to me off list first, just a bit after I
read your message. And, although it is going to be slow going at first, I
do have mine at least set up now.
Regarding the CF card issue, wanting to be cautious, I didn't insert the
card until after I had done the 1 2 3 reset. And, everything installed just
fine. We won't talk about the fact that, later, I forgot and turned the
unit off with the CF card in there, and after trying to be so careful, too.
As for my getting the CF cards out of the PK, I finally figured out an easy
way to do that for myself, too, as it was just taking me way too long any
other way. So, in the end, what I did was to open the snap on the PK case
so I could get to the card easier, and then I was able to get the thing
removed within just two or three seconds.
Now, after getting that Blue Logger getting started guide, guess I should
have followed the instructions about charging the unit first, but I was just
too eager to give it a try. And, what do you know, there was indeed enough
charge still in it to find my location within just seven or eight minutes.
And, too, as a nice surprise for me, I didn't have to go reading the manual
to figure out how to get the maps for my area to come up; as, when I started
the GPS, it already loaded them.
But, I think I will stop playing for a while and maybe read a bit of the
manual before doing much more.
