GPS Back Home

| | Comments (2)

We got our gps unit back a couple of days ago, we were going through geocaching withdrawal I believe. We had planned on doing a huge geocaching thing on our way to Illinois but we didn't have our gps unit :( I think if Alex doesn't have to work tomorrow we're going to go out and get a few geocaches.

The unit seems to be working alright but I had to fight with the darn thing to get it to unlock properly. I'm still not even sure I did it right. I guess we'll know for sure when we go out again :)

GPS Really Broke Now

|

I mentioned before that our GPS kinda broke this past week. I called the Garmin people and they said, "oh that's easy to fix", basically I was supposed to download the software and reinstall it. Yeah it was so easy to fix that now it's really broke.

Installing the software seened like it was going to work until the very end of the whole install process. The Garmin software erased our GPS completely and then just said it couldn't finish (oh thanks!) Now we can't even retry installing the software because the unit is completely erased and won't turn on!

I might have to send the thing in after all :(
