This is an update to my first review, below...Apisphere responded to my email concern, same day, and on a Saturday at that. Using the update kit required us to turn off Norton Utilities to run the update. It worked and we were off and running. It's been muddy in our area so we have simply stopped by a place that we know there are caches and tested out our new Geomate Jr. Worked like a charm. Gave us cache size, terrain, distance, and pointed us in the right direction. We can't wait to put it to field use.
Original post: We received our Geomate Jr and update kit from Amazon quickly. No problem there. The Geomate Jr looks like it would be perfect for us to use with our children for geocaching, however, not being able to update with the current geocache inventory could be disappointing. We "successfully" uploaded the software on three of our PCs, two with Windows 7 and one with Vista. When connecting the Geomate Jr to the the computer with the update cable, Windows STOPS WORKING. So essentially this purchase does not work for us. We are waiting for a response from Apisphere's Help Desk. Depending on the response, I will either update my post or return the products. This could have been avoided had the versions of Windows been disclosed...they tell you up front that it doesn't work with Apple.Get more detail about Apisphere 20-050-31 Geomate.jr Geocaching GPS Update Kit (Green/Black).
