Hi everyone,

I have a an older model magellan 315 GPS that I purchased on EBAY. It
is a simple unit, but I had one that fit the bill for simple VFR flying
a few years ago. I have the Data Send CD from a few years ago, but I
find that it will only run on the old Windows 98 operating system. I
now have Windows XP and it doesn't seem to want to load the DataSend
application and download the FAA waypoints into the GPS.

I guess what I need is the aviation version of the Magellan GPS 315.
Can anyone help me, or provide me with, with the software which runs on
Windows XP to convert this simple unit to the aviation version?

Thanks !


John
Windows XP has a compatability mode that may help you. I've never used it,
but I believe you can run Windows XP in Windows 98 mode so that software
will run. Someone here will know how to use it.
