    • Hey Anthony. Yup it should work fine. Even though I use Squeeze Center, I can still see both of the Squeezeboxes listed on SqueezeNetwork (just showing as not connected). So I'm sure the Duet...

    Dear ben, I have a IPAQ 2210, Holux GPS receiver as CF card,Pocket MV and the open source (Graeme) New Zealand maps. I also have bought Brent maps,
    but can not get them to work.
    I created a subdirectory on my SD card with pocket MV in it and all the IMG files. Now it is a pain to get an image as all, as the Auckland maps do not seem to load.
    The South island ones do. Are there different layers and can I load map after map and load them on top of each other?
    Just can not get it to work, am I doing something wrong?

    cheers and thanks

    Hi there, I have downloaded all the .img files from NZ Open Source (Graeme). I must be doing something wrong as I cannot get the files to load on Pocket MV. I assume I merely copy the files onto my HP Pocket PC using Microsoft Activesync? Or is there another proceedure. I also notice that the files that have come from NZ Open Source dont seem to be labeled into cities. Is this the case? Can some one assist?

    To tell you the truth I have totally given up on PocketMV now. It seems to be unsupported and flakey.

    Just quietly, if you have a look at the Garmin download site for the GPS10, you'll find a great little mapping program called Que. Then have a look for a piece of software called GPSProxy (on sourceforge.com). They work together beautifully.
