Afishionado Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I am a TOTAL dummy when it comes to gadgets. You know the sorta thing , like getting ones son to set the vidio up ......... Any way I bought this Garmin thingy that came with a very comprehensive hand book, so comprehensive in fact that I can't remember stage 12 when I'm at stage 19 . I am sure that this book thingy is trying to tell me far more than I need to know and that I'm confusing myself with irrelavent detail . So here's the thing......... Is there any kind and GPS fluent person out there who could give me an idiots tutorial (IN BABY STEPS!). Idealy the fee would either be a contribution to the RNLI or a couple of pints of beer or even both I 'spose. Mike PS please do not give me GPS co-ordinates on how to find you as that would be too cruel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob F Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 By the way, you turn it off by pressing and holding down the POWER key for a few seconds. Bob F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Mike, we could meet in a pub if you prefer. I know what these wifey's are like about having strangers in the house. You get all sorts of pre-conditions. If you know a quiet pub local to you, let me know where and when. I could probably do it any evening next week, also, if you prefer. Upto you matey.

Bob F Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Mike, Thanks for the giggle and the bottle of wine tonight. I've downloaded the manual of your GPS. So, if you get stuck you can either reference the page in the manual or just give me a call. No need to wait till the next club meeting. cheers Bob F. p.s T'was nice to meet your better halve. Who said Carol was a dragon? You's a big fibber!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
