I have been on the road a lot lately and thought I would toss out this Sentinel software question:
Since I don't have the Uniden GPS hockey puck for the 436 HP (I have the one for the 996XT with a 9 pin end not USB) ... Is there a GPS adaptor?
I'm not using the GPS function and have to do all my changes manually on the fly.
When I go to "Set Your Location" ... I select "Enter Zip Code", Canada ... and it comes up BLANK.
I can turn the knob (and wear it out) ... So I am wondering if when I get to this step, can the software NOT display the previous Postal Code. After all I might be in the same Postal Code area but just wanted to check that without having to enter everything again. [In Canada all Postal Codes for the Province I'm in all start with the same Letter] ex. T2X 1G6 T=Alberta (Can I not use the keypad for data entry???)
Possible Suggestion: Func + 8 for "T" ... 2 ... Func 9, Func 9 for "X" like on a phone touch pad
We only need to enter the first 3 characters ... I would prefer to have to enter only 2 characters, instead of turning the knob so many more times. It's just a matter of time before I will have to send it in for repairs.
My 2nd part to this question is Range.
Why is it that in the Sentinel Software I can enter the range as 400 Miles ...
However when I use the manual method it tells me it's "Out of Range Set Max? (Y/N)" with a maximum range of 50 Miles?
(When I'm dealing with a Provincial Agency it would be nice to enter a range number only once to cover a larger area.)
