Hmm, I've looked for the AGPS how to on the Sendero web site, but didn't find anything. Anyone have a link to the document which describes how to get the AGPS info onto the receiver?

I have found that with any receiver, including-Blue 737A+, it is best to standing open area and wait there until you have acquired satellites. If you are walking, in a vehicle, plane or under an structure that may block the satellites, plan on waiting a while to acquire satellites. The I-Blue 7373A+ is capable of acquiring satellites in under 10 seconds through the use of AGPS, which I have been using for a while on the I-Blue 737A+ and think that it is really worth going through the process of getting it up and running as it really does cut down the waiting around time for satellites. Without AGPS , it will take 30-40 seconds to acquire satellites on I-Blue 737A+. I believe that there are instructions on how to get AGPS on I=Blue 737A+ working on the Sendero Group site.

Either case going into GPS when you have your receiver turned on should be pretty much instant and then if you are outside and the GPS receiver is fully charged it should take less than 10 seconds to get a connection. Please contact Sendero Support at 1 888 757 6810, you may have something configured incorrectly or a defective receiver. Thanks. Charles M.

At least, It's an I Blue that I got last year when I purchased the package. I run it with a PK. I just tried it out now. Took about 8 minutes to connect to the receiver.

I don't know, it may just be a subconscious thing, but when you're waiting to get connected, I always wonder if it's actually doing anything. Many times, I'll reset the Bluetooth connection, just to make sure it's working. Connection to satellites vary for me as well. Between a minute to 15. Sometimes, i just give up.

Watch each day for a few more items in this release, which we plan to be available in April. 23 Changes from Sendero GPS V6.0 to V2010 in 3 steps Changes from Sendero GPS Version 6.2 to version 2010 March 10, 2010 There are 4 major and 6 minor changes as well as programming improvements under the hood in Sendero GPS 2010 as compared with the 6.2 release. Many of these and other features are unique to Sendero GPS and some are not even available in commercial GPS products. Note that the version number has been changed to the year to reduce confusion between the other products powered by Sendero GPS. GPS Version 2010 will load 2010 maps, not maps from other years. 8. Rich content attached to user points of interest is now included when those points and files are added to the collective user POI list. For example, when you add an audio description of an intersection or a menu for a restaurant to a user point of interest, those items are carried through the collective user file generation so other users can benefit from your efforts. 9. Conduct an Exhaustive search automatically for a city or street when it is not found. 10. Some prompts have been changed. When you acquire your GPS position, instead of hearing "Acquiring satellites", you now hear Searching for satellites. Also, you now receive more information when you create a route. You can scroll through the details with R then I.
