Some of the downloads are not compatible with windows 7 (surprising, I thought just about everything was). What is really confusing is that the US dealer (Cumulus) shows the SN10 packaged with a GPS that is no longer available (!)and there is not a list of anything else that is compatible. Tried updating files and such on the unit and so far a bit of frustration and the paper manual that came with it is not much help. Seems odd for a computer that lists for over 3 grand and doesn't even have a built in GPS or meaningful display. Should I accept the fact that I have an expensive paper weight or should I dig some connectors out of the used parts bin and find a computer with an old version of Windows 95 and keep at it?

Hi Kirk
I too have an SN10. I use both a PDA and a Win 7 laptop to upload/ update and download from the SN10, too cheap to get the USB adapter at this time :-)
As already noted Dave Nadler's site and the turnpoint exchange have just about everything you might need software and file wise. The simulator is great for getting to know the computer.
I'll be keeping mine for years to come
