 I get the following error when installing Drive 2004, what is the problem?

You must have a previous version of Drive running on your system. Please exit that version and retry the installation.

Can I install version 2006 over 2003/2004

Yes, it will replace all Drive! system files, but keep all your current Notes, Scorecards, Favorites, ... all data you have entered in Drive 2003 or 2004.

Can I install version 2006 over 2004

2006 will install to a different location than 2004, unless you specify the destination directory as: c:\ProgramFiles\Drive2004(or wherever you installed Drive 2004)

Can I transfer my golf bag entries from Drive 2004 to 2006?

Yes. In fact the Drive 2004 golf bag is identical in format to that in 2006. All you need to do is copy the file "golfbag.gbd" from your Drive2004 program folder to Drive2006. Drive2004 installed by default to: c:\ProgramFiles\Drive2004; Drive2006 installs to: c:\ProgramFiles\Drive2006.

Why can't I find a street using the Street Search?

The street you are looking for may be outside the current search radius. You set the center of the search radius by choosing either "zip code" or "current view" in the street search dialog box. You determine how far from that center to search by setting the "Radius".

Why do my maps print oddly -- oversized fonts or too dark?

Choose to print maps as usual, but in the final dialog box, choose Properties next to your printer choice. Lower the print quality by reducing the dpi or other items listed for your particular printer.

When navigating the map, it appears to shift everything to the right.

There is a known and still unresolved bug in the software used to calculate travel routes. If you have used the Route Computer, all map navigation will operate in a slightly off-center mode. To correct the problem (for now), please close down and re-start Drive! -- we are still working on this problem [the problem only occurs after a route has been calculated].

Can I print a list of more than 15 courses?

No. Drive is not designed to print large lists suitable for marketing or mailing.

Can I export the Drive data for use in mailings ...?

No. Sorry, Drive is not designed to allow this capability. Please contact Golf Magazine at 800.760.4553 to inquire about using the same data for marketing purposes.

Can I save the results of a search?

You can save and retrieve the search criteria you used on a particular query with the Save and Load buttons, but you cannot directly save the resulting list of courses. However, the results list is retained while the program is running. You can save any courses you are interested in viewing again in your golf bag by viewing the course details and clicking [Favor].
