Hmm, interesting. OK well I've installed the software, the webupdater has done its thing, I've run the Metrogold unlock thing to enable on-device routing and all seems to be heading in the right direction by the usual not-terribly-friendly standards of all GPS software
So far so good.
No, V9 does not permit search by postcode alone.
So let me get something clear: with this version of Metroguide that I have, which did not come with an unlock code, what difference does that make? OK I obviously can't use the "unlock maps" utility but why would I need to anyway??
Why is the normal back that comes with the Etrex a nice solid thing, while the back that you need with bike mount a much lighter plastic thing? Ah, I see. I get to use the nice solid back with that plastic doofer. The lighter back must just be for Etrexs without the microSD slot.
Ah - and I see Memory Map on the PC talks to my HCx ok.
And I've got a route originally on Googlemaps (AFAIR), which which was on MM, to appear on the HCx ok. This is all quite promising.
