However after the screen of my AD3500 froze on the THIRD replacement unit I've discovered that the PC to 3500 link and all the hassle needed to get any maps up on screen or reciprocated on the AD3500 is far too suseptible to incompetent MM programming. A completely useless product! Stick with GARMIN - at least that works and the upload/download of data is a cinch compared to the AD3500. Judging by the hype, MM seem to have a faultless product.

Now I got a new laptop which will not have Internet on it. When I tried to activation the Vic. 1:25k maps I was not successfull. There is no Serial Nr. on the original package. You could make it much easier to activate your GPS on a computer which is not connected to the Internet.

Which exact version of MM are you running?. Drop me an email via the Contact page of the main website (click the logo at top-left of this page). pearmund,

I have now been waiting more than a month for Memory Map to re-enable these features for me, to no avail - ultimately making Memory Map a useless application.

Quite a few people have decided to stick with MM 5.1.3. Having both OS and Harveys is indeed the best of both worlds, I tend to study both at home but I take the OS printouts on most trips, just because I'm more used to them I guess.

Really glad that I am running the earlier version of MM on my laptop & PDA as the latest version on my desktop is not reliable enough. This is a genuine version and was fully activated online. Now it has deactivated & won't accept my details anymore, cannot export in CSV format & it tells me that the license for basic GPS has expired. Well thats that, I will get it running again & export all my overlays as CSV's then delete the latest version & instal the earlier pre activation version. Then just import my CSV files & save as MNO's job done and no more MM upgrades. Really liked having my maps in OS & harveys whilst on vacation, the OS were great for general use but the Harveys were better on the higher routes. all the best Roy Hi geoff
