## Questions & Answers

**Q: I cannot open the battery compartment at the bottom . the screw keep spinning but does not come loose. how does it open?  - joe griffin 08--8-2018**
A: The screw has to be  completely unscrewed out of the unit. Maybe the metal receiver is spinning or the lock snap ring is missing.

**Q: Does this device work with the mgrs or military grid reference system?**
A: If I could send a pic. Unit shows using MGRS grid system as an option

**Q: does this unit display land elevation?**
A: Only with optional mapping it will show contour elevations. With my sportrak maps I always load an optional topo of the buyers area... If you want a larger area than the map has room for go with the sportrak pro....

**Q: Can i buy a new battery pack for this gps?**
A: They only have a battery tray for two AA batteries that screws into the unit. If anyone has one it will be expensive. I have only one.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding product, outstanding support, great price
*by B***Z on December 21, 2004*

I have had this unit for a month and am amazed by the satellite sensitivity. I can pick up 2-3 in my house no where near a window. As the owner of three previous GPS units for use with a laptop, I can tell you that this one has replaced them all. It works by itself of course, and with so much information it provides, it does take a Masters degree to really know how to use all the features. The ONLY disappoint was with the built in map... mine only shows the US and major cities, but even zooming in all the way with highest detail, there are no highways or anything else. I purchased an older version of Map Send from the web for $18 and that has made all the difference... now I actually have roads and the GPS follows them perfectly. I have driven with the unit, taken it on walks and on bike rides and I can say that it is a great value for the price. I do think that the latest MapSend software should be bundled with it, however. I love maps and I love GPS and this is a great combo in a small package. By the way, the screen in full sunlight is super... no problem at all in the harshest sunlight or the heaviest overcast or tree cover. I am amazed by the sensitivity of the receiver!UPDATE...I called Thanes, the maker, and they informed me that I had gotten a unit with an EU base map. To make a long story short, they replaced the base map and returned it within a week... and included batteries and a carry case. This company, unlike so many these days, gets four thumbs up from me! Outstanding product, outstanding support, great price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only problem with this item was the cable. ...
*by L***. on August 22, 2015*

The only problem with this item was the cable. The computer end did not fit my Dell laptop or desktop. I ordered from another provider a cable with a USB computer jack that works, but was $25 additional cost.

### ⭐ no
*by B***A on November 26, 2012*

The seller did not mention that this device was missing the battery pack and charger so it was a real was of time and money. The price of the battery alone was more than the price I paid for the GPS. So I could have purchased a new one and been done with it. Total was of time and money
