How hard is the battery cover to get off on an Explorist XL normally? Just got one today in the mail that i bought and can't get it off for the life of me. Starting to worry it is buggered.

finger nails along the 'seam' seems to work fine - it pops off!

Where's the best place to get one of these. If it matters I'm in the SE of Melbourne. Last time I asked there was some deal where for $1200 you got the whole kit....

I priced mine from http://www.prestigecom.net.au/ then printed the page and took it to BCF for them to price match it.

This may be a FAQ, but can the orientation of the screen of one of these units be changed from Portrait to Landscape?

I doubt it. If you use it sideways it won't be pointing up and see the satellites.
