Retro technology and mooving maps

I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so I put a copy of oziexplorer on my Thinkpad 760 lappy. 32 meg of ram, wow. Tried importing exporting etc but my trip to the shop with the lappy on wifes knee wasn't great. It said I was roughly in China. We chased that pointer all over the place "Can you see the arrow?"..."Not even a little bit of it ?"
Problem solved thanks to a kind member of this forum, and tips from other members here. Map files freely availiable for Desert tracks and Natmap etc.
Anyway result is a system that works well. All retro technology, Thinkpad 760 and a Magellan 310, some leads. No expensive bits, all sits there moving along nicely. A bit of fiddling (familiarizatoin) and I've mastered waypoints and routes etc.
Now those with the latest and greatest can laugh at me, but I set it up and derive a great deal of satisfaction knowing that it didn't cost an arm and a leg.
I'm now a convert and my next setup will be an in dash unit...when I win Lotto.
Moving maps is fantastic. You don't need the national debt to set it up, almost anyone can do it.
And in the end, its usefulness far outweighs the hair you lose by doing it yourself.
So even if you don't know a co ordinate from a cup of tea, have a go. You'll be glad you did.
