Hello everyone!
I have an ETREX, anf it works very well with the Gps Utility software; the
problem is that i only have an unregisted version (wich has seious
limitations)
Does anyone have a serial number or other crack to make it registered ?

Sure, just go to http://www.gpsu.co.uk/ & click on Registration.

Agreed, GPS Utility is excellent. So why not pay towards the effort Alan
Murphy put in to develop it for you???

Yes I have a serial number. So I guess I've got two choices.

1. I give it to you. Alan gets no revenue. He stops developing the software.
No more upgrades for me.

2. I don't give it to you. You pay Alan. He continues to develop the
software. I get an even better version of an already excellent program.

Guess which way I'm going to go.

If I were Alan, and did receive a registration from Andy, I woun't honor it
for any amount. Probably Andy's the type to sell the sn, to recover his
cost, several times over.

You seem to be somewhat unclear on the concept here.

Thanks,

No! Andy is already a registered GPS User (paid on 19th May 2000).

I am still developing the program for people like Andy and the revenue
does mean that my wife doesn't complain so much when I spend hours on
the computer. Current policy is that upgrades are free to registered
users.

You may like to note that I did have an earlier e-mail conversation
with "Rui Nortada" and I helped him to sort out his interface problems
- at least I assume so, as he seems to be working with GPSU now - but
I have not received an order from him.

Bollocks - you missed the sarcasm in Andy's reply completely.

Andy is making the point that if Alan doesn't receive revenue from new
users e.g. Rui, Alan will stop developing the software, and Andy won't
get any more upgrades. Andy wants to receive upgrades with new
features and fixes to any discovered problems, compatibility with new
GPSs etc, so Andy thinks it is in Andy's interest not to give the
serial number to e.g. Rui.

It is Rui's registration that perhaps Alan should look at closely, if
it ever arrives.

I paid Alan even though I had no intention of using registered
features. It's a brilliant piece of work and in the GPS community's
own interest to promote such efforts.
