MMMmmm Ive been Synta-ed again!

I have received confirmation that standard Skywatcher GPS module wont work with this device.
As I suspected, the Synscan Tour Handpiece DOES require a specific (as yet un-imported) compatible GPS receiver.

Synta seem to have a thing about GPS. - Remember when they changed their software to try to block out the ability to use the 3rd party skyGPS?

Sometimes I think Synta and Tasco (Aussie agents) just like to royally P-off their customers for the sheer joy of it.

Anyway, its still a great bit of kit, so if I go away to a new site, I'll just get the GPS position with the standard hand-piece and enter it manually (till sanity prevails.)
