When I upgraded to Windows 10, TMG said my trial version had expired (I've always had a licensed version), and I had to re-enter my registration information. Other than that minor issue, no problems.

In Afghanistan we used fairly cheap digital cameras that recorded the GPA location when the photograph is taken. Can't remember the makes or models, but I seem to recall that they were <$200. We needed to photograph objects built with donor funding and "prove" that they were where they were supposed to be and this was accurate enough for that.

Unfortunately the manuals available on-line are so simplified I can't even tell what features remain in the units. It sounds like you have a "car navigation" unit which are pretty much worthless without their built-in street maps (to which they "snap" to nearest street when there are satellite accuracy errors). The cheapest units I'm familiar with suited for off-road use were the Garmin eTrex units, but the current set (10, 20, 30) share a manual that has simplified operations so much that to create waypoints (I know, the opposite of what you want to do, but still of import) requires doing "mark waypoint" (make CURRENT location a waypoint) and THEN editing the coordinates. I can't find information on map datums or coordinate systems supported. (But it does add GLONASS satellites with the GPS satellites). Heck, even the GPSMAP 78 manual has been simplified so much I don't know what it does. My units are obsolete (they still have BUTTONS, no touch screen) but had much more detailed stuff (the GPSMAP 76CSx even has a program for various parachute jumping options taking into account winds at altitudes and high vs low opening of the chute). Don't know if the same units are available in Canada -- the eTrex 10 is listed at US$ 110, and the GPSMAP 78 at US$ 200 (same as the eTrex 20x). After those entry-level units, you rapidly hit the US$300 to 500 range. GPSMAP 64 (GLONASS capable, quadrifilar helix antenna*) US$ 250. Main thing is that you are looking for a hiking/geocaching type unit -- though best to check in stores to see how difficult it is to retrieve location information. Even if it doesn't have a live coordinate display, you should be able to get the coordinates out of the saved waypoint edit feature. * quadrifilar helix antennas can be identified by an ~4 inch rod sticking out of the unit. They work best with satellites that are toward the horizon and are somewhat dead to birds overhead. However, position accuracy is better when the satellites are diversely spaced. Most units use a patch antenna instead, which is better at picking up overhead birds but makes for a smaller unit. -- bieber.genealogy@earthlink.net Dennis Lee Bieber HTTP://home.earthlink.net/~bieber.genealogy/

Good morning, Sorry for being OT, but I looking for some input from the list from those people who GPS to identify location coordinates for their genealogy. I currently have a unit that serves me well for general travel to locations but once I get there I cannot get the exact GPS coordinates of the destination. I would like to get a second one that I could use for the purpose of getting destination GPS coordinates. I'm not looking to spend an exorbitant price on one but a reasonable price. If a list member has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Since I'm in Canada please send your input (off list) in terms of Canadian available products to ron.stonehouse@stonehouse.ca<mailto:ron.stonehouse@stonehouse.ca?subject=OT%20-%20GPS%20Units>.

This is common with many e-mail systems. Some refuse to send attachments which are seen as potentially risky, while others refuse to accept them. The ruse of amending the file name sometimes works, but some systems are "clever" enough to reject those as well. To transmit such files is a pain. With an IT-literate person on the other end, one can use "ftp". If you have a web-site, you can set it up so that a "right-click / save-as" will work. As has been said - a CD-ROM is also good - though only if the person has a computer with a drive (many small laptops, tablets, etc, don't).

My first try to add "invitation" as a Source Type failed. ( I have since gotten smarter!) However, after my failed attempt when I open my program (TMG 9.05), after choosing my program an annoying little box comes up announcing "invitation", with an OK and an X, which then has to be deleted before continuing. How can I get rid of the box? Thank you, Muriel Parker

THanks Terry. Not real sure why that particular report has a title, but wish we could remove it. Will try the non breaking space. The last line has reference, flag, etc. I turned them off, but it still prints that line. I am printing each direct ancestor so I can keep up with research better and I don't want to have to manually delete it for several hundred ancestors. I have turned it all off, but still Reference=; No. of Children and Age still print. -----Original Message----- From: tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Terry Reigel via Sent: Monday, August 3, 2015 4:43 PM To: tmg@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TMG] Report options no report name On 8/3/2015 4:55 PM, Teresa Elliott via wrote: > Trying to print an Individual Detail.

Thank you, Terry, for your comments. I didn’t switch to a new computer, just to the new TMG version. But, I’ll keep your words in mind when I eventually buy a new computer with Win10. I’ll read your article (and print it) and check all the paths in my project files. It was an article of yours ( Updating to TMG 8 from TMG 5,6, or 7) that I had printed and tucked into your Primer for TMG which led me to check the file name. Your Primer has been very helpful to me over the years, as has Lee’s Getting the Most out of TMG. It’s wonderful to have people like you two around to help us. I, also, use your website.

None of the default paths are automatically updated when you move your data from one version of TMG to another, or from one computer to another.

But when TMG sends the report to Word, it resets that margin back to .5". Is there a setting in TMG that I can tell it what I want the margins to be, since it isn't using the Word default template. If I change it after the ID is printed, it shifts everything right .5" and then the text flows off the page.
