PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY.
A little extra time spent reading the simple download instructions and help pages now may save a lot of time and annoyance later.

REGISTERING to post in the FREE FORUMS
(Posting in the non-member forums is free.)
Q. Why can't I find the right links to register/subscribe/log in?
A. Please make sure that you always use the main site www.PocketGPSWorld.com and not a mirror site. Your browser needs to accept cookies from our site. There is an issue (which we are addressing) with cookies when you use a mixture of www.pocketgpsworld.com, pocketgpsworld.com (without the www) and the co.uk sites.
On Internet Explorer you can clear your cookies using Tools/Internet Options/Delete Cookies.
Some ISPs store (cache) web pages so they don't always update immediately. 'Hard' refresh subscription/download page by pressing 'Control' on your keyboard whilst pressing the refresh/reload button on your browser.
Are you sure that your privacy settings are not set too high? Is your firewall blocking us? You should also have JavaScript enabled.
Q. When I register to post in the forums I'm told I'll get an email which I need to respond to. I haven't received one, why?
A. Many large ISPs mistakenly block a lot of legitimate commercial emails thinking they are spam (actually, it is interesting to note that more emails nowadays are blocked as spam than delivered) and your confirmation email may not arrive as a result. The vast majority of registrations proceed effortlessly, but the problem occurs intermittently with AOL, Supanet, Freeserve, Wanadoo, BTConnect, BTinternet, NTL and Blueyonder.
You will not be able to activate your account without this email as it asks you to click a link to confirm. If you do not receive this email then please email us at subscriptions@pocketgpsworld.com with your chosen nickname and password and we will set you up manually. However, before you email us, please check your deleted and junk folders.
