If you have a 300R model, the unit will be useless without the Magellan software on an SD card. The trick to using it is to kill mgnshell.exe prior to (or after, I suppose) launching your navigation app. It’s pretty easy to setup and very minimalist. Also, how am I supposed to put the unit to sleep without powering down (i.e., reset)? It takes forever to cold boot. MioPocket 3 is not perfect if I hit the “rotate screen” icon, the screen goes into portrait mode and can’t be rotated back. Give it time! It looks like the unit has hanged, but it hasn’t. One thing users should note is that there are a couple of reboots during the installation process. If you have a model 300, you can still use the highway basemap to get routing from city to city but you will not have detailed address routing at the residential street level unless you insert an SD card with Magellan software.Īny suggestions? I’m trying Miopocket 3 (R59) to see if it is any better. The 300R was a regional unit while the 300 included a national basemap. Magellan provides nationwide maps and regional maps. It requires a card of 2GB or less loaded with Magellan mapping software. You can't just pop any card into the slot and get it working. The Magellan Roadmate 300 and 300R both require preloaded map data to be supplied from an SD card. Please I'm going crazy here!:( Posted on Feb 13, 2008.
