They upgraded, they gave away: sparc station, shacoh scanner and schlumberger plotter to the old retiring geezer The shacoh scanner (4800dpi 1100mm * longest I have put thru is 32m) is connected to a sparc20, it is still the most accurate raster to vector conversion machine I have found, not the fastest but very accurate, 0.01mm on paper may miss the ore in the ground Most want file format conversion to something the fancy laptop can manipulate Plots take hours, multiple pen sizes, colours, 1414mm * 1000mm I have a win xp box as a print server for a old schlumberger pen plotter Accept it or don't is up to you, but don't fault the makers because it don't last forever. If the hardware did not support W10 for the update then maybe now is the time to dump the old stuff.Ĭomputers reach End-of-Life within years, sooner than you want, but that's the way it is. So if people chose not to update the OS when MS offered it for free and their hardware would have supported it then that's on them if things don't work now. I upgraHP Desktops and 1 Lenovo laptop from W7 to W10 without any problems and they look and feel like W7. given how frequently they are updating them. But, perhaps the writting is on the wall for all the map related units. map size is evidently a consideration for some of the older units but there seems to be workarounds. so far, Garmin has not made obsolete any of its GPS units that I am aware. Most (ALL?) the updates to GE seem to deal with features not related to maps and our automotive units.Īnd. Guess the issue for me will be if the old working GE will still load the next version of maps. While this is the quick fix for Garmin, there are lots of folk that don't see the need to buy a new car, fridge, home, computer every time a new model comes out when what you have works just fine. Why continue supporting operating systems that Microsoft themselves no longer support? Operating systems that have declining user bases? This makes perfect sense from Garmin's POV.
