There are all kinds of downloads for free. You could start here:Quote:

I've used the calling sequence from this site before:

My first caller consisted of a cheap $20 mp3 player that ran on a single AAA battery connected to a computer speaker powered by 2 AA batteries. Now you could just download some free calls onto your phone, and get a cheap blue tooth speaker and do it that way.

Meh, If it's in the flyer, TSC won't have stock anyway.
Order it on line...have them deliver it to the store..wait for the call...slick process and avoids disappointment.Quote:

Now for the long learning curve to get it set up; I guess I'll have to sit by the fireplace with a glass or two of nog :)
Give us a review after a while Mike.Quote:

3. The SD card reader is value unto itself.
Let us know how it works out.
Thanks Delmer.Quote:

Only issue is severe cold but I don't know how much of that I'll do lol. I don't want to be an ice cube.
I checked out some of the calls. Those sequenced ones are handy.
Fawn in distress is my likely candidate.

So far I'm very pleased....but it was an effort, more because I'd never set up an Android based tablet before, so a heck of a learning curve for the grey matter :)Quote:

On a positive note; I e-mailed the query to Spypoint customer service and they send me a 'update.zip' file (2 hrs later) with instructions to install at the bios level. It was a bit tricky but got it installed and it fixed the problem.
It wasn't a real deal breaker as the GeoPad comes with another App downloader that worked great once updated thru the browser already installed.
Pros;
The GPS (satellite) works fabulous and is very accurate. The off line maps are great with the GPS and I was able to set waypoints etc very easily. The GPS compass 'wayhome' app also works great. Still have a few others to try out.
The Wild Game call function is super and works great with a remote Bluetooth speaker. I'll used my wife's for now but found a ruggedized weather proof one on Amazon for $25 so it's in the mail. It will sit out about 10 m (33') away from the blind. Nice kit.
edit add; I should have mentioned...I hit Google Play and waded thru the plethora of FREE game call apps and installed a few..they all work great.
The Kindle app for books works flawlessly thru the GeoPad wifi...links to my Amazon Library and I can 'send' books directly to the GeoPad.
So far I'm tres impressed... still a lot of fine tuning to do to get it customized, but for $200 I got a device full of useful tools and functions in a single ruggedized weather proof package....eliminates a whack of other hardware i used to carry out with me.
Thanks for the heads up 73Hunter....I like to embrace technology when it practical and serves a useful purpose. I was looking to buy a FoxPro predator caller, for more $$ than this, so I saved money and got so much more.
As a visual aid; purely based on a pragmatics..technology has simplified the kit we take with us to the field.
Granted I will still carry the Silva and/or add a small Duracell charger ($10) in the back pack for the GeoPad.

The little blue thing with the Geo Pad is an optional remote Bluetooth speaker you can put out 10 yds from the blind. Missing on the far side is a SDcard viewer some guys carry, the GeoPad has one built in.
With less to carry...as Martha would say "That's a good thing" :)
