I had an Admin explain to me that using All Capital Letters can be interpreted as shouting or yelling. While the OP (LenFagen) may not know this, I would like to help a fellow Hogger.

First head over to Magellan’s website. They are: Magellangps.com
Please ask yourself How old is this gps? It may be out of warranty. How expensive is a new model? It may be appropriate to buy a new model!

Finally, CHG_CANON can be a little snarky in his answers. None the less, people from Illinois are that way. Those of us from New York are much more direct. Please don’t use Capital letters. I would hate for you to be reprimanded by the Admin as a naughty school boy like I was!

The OP made a mistake. Caps lock on...(Note the lower case at the beginning) Is it really that big a problem?

Could you have been abducted by aliens and are not on planet Earth? Sorry to hear about your injury...I hope it heals quickly.

If you have a recent smartphone, why not use that for GPS/Map information. If you download map information from say, Google Map, for an area of interest, you don't even need interest access to use the map.

Try to perform a hard reset (initialization?) and clear all data in the memory. That might fix it according to some users....
