Hi Carol, I would suggest that you start with learning how to use the device in real time, i. e. while walking, etc. Focus on how to find out where you are, and what's around you. You can get into route creation, and things like that later.

GOT MY GPS FOR THE PK Hi all, I'm pretty ecstatic today having installed my new "toy" (travel tool, etc., etc) and can't wait to get started with the real thing! (I'm currently just waiting for my receiver to arrive.) Meanwhile I'm reading the manual, finding myself jumping around it a bit and getting a little confused with various modes and of course wanting to run, run, run when I know I have to work through systematically. Any advice on what I should focus on and achieve first, once I have the receiver up and running, would be most welcome. Thanks! -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx
