From maggi at userfriendly.net Tue Jun 13 07:23:04 2006 From: maggi at userfriendly.net (maggi w) Date: Tue Jun 13 07:23:15 2006 Subject: [MacGPS] 'ejecting' gps Message-ID: <59511130606130723q31976526m7d63548f27dbd594@mail.gmail.com> First, i apologize if this has been asked before. I checked through the archives and didnt see this .. My husband and I have just jumped into geocaching recently and have purchased Magellan eXplorist 600 gps receivers. Getting them to work with Macs, well, that's a totally different story, unfortunately, and he's almost pulling his hair out on that one. The bugging question right now is what is the best way to 'unmount' the gps once connected to the mac? Unplugging gives the 'device was improperly removed' error message, and dragging the mount to the trash gets rid of it for a second, but then the icon shows up again back on the desktop. And naturally, the manual is windows oriented :( tia! - maggi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
