Mark,
Sorry to say, it is probably the begining of the end for you poor 315A. I had the exact same model and did all the downloads you had recommended on the web for the aviation database. One day it started to do strange things. The whole sattelite screen went blank one day while flying. But it started working again a few days latter.? Then at the 2006 KR Gathering, it started to take 30+ minutes to get sattelite lock - even out in the open far away from any interference.? It tried reloading the filmware for the 315A and that seemed to work for a while. I moved the 315A farther away from the hand held radio. Then one day it fiallly just went blank. I used another cheap Magellan for a while (Sport Track) which I was able to figure out how to transfer the same airport database information to, but only 500 waypoints. I just recently bought a Garmin 96.

On the last few flights the Magellan has been acting up, freezing up, then regaining normal mode and just doing weird stuff. I have been flying with it for four years and have never seen it do this. I operate it on external power from the plane. It also runs on AA batteries. Any ideas? Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: flyk...@charter.net Web: www.flykr2s.com
