Driver
- - On I-94 in Wisconsin, a slow driver in the fast lane was passed after flashing.
- - The driver washed windows, splashing water on my window.
I was driving to work in Wisconsin on 94 going north and a Meade driver was going slow in the fast lane so I had to flash my brights a couple times to get him and his truck out of the fast lane. So he washed his windows so my window would get wet, lol but it just dries on the highway *** Then I finally got his slow *** to move over and then he flipped me off lol.
Maybe he was mad he got passed by a girl. Get out of the fast lane if you're going slow especially in a company car ***

Verified ReviewerMeade LX200
- - Has a 10 inch LX200 with Go To; asks if it can be upgraded to a GPS locator that auto-locates position.
Hi. I have a 10 inch LX200 scope.
It has the Go To controller. Is there a way I can easily convert this to the newer GPS locator.
The GPS would be much easier since it locates my position automatically and I wouldn't have to put in the coordinates. Thank you for your help.
User's recommendation: None. I just wanted to ask Meade a question. Not pissed at all.

Verified ReviewerTechnical support is a complete joke.
- - Support lacks specs for past and current Meade telescopes and mounts.
- - They say they only supply to dealers and refer you to the site for specs.
Technical support is a complete joke. They do not have specs on telescopes and mounts sold by Meade in the past.
They do not have specs on current telescopes but instead tell you to go to the website and figure it out yourself. They dont have access to the specs on their own products!
Their excuse is that they dont sell telescopes but only supply them to dealers. A complete abrogation responsibility.

Select Portoflio now tells me they have only recieved partial payment
- - Select Portfolio is accused of pushing homeowners toward default for a bailout.
- - I sent two payments but only one was acknowledged.
Select Portfolio is a JOKE! there are intentionally trying to get home owners to default on the home loans so the government to bail them out..I had sent two payments and they tell me they only recieved one.
They will try anything to get the loan to default and cause a foreclosure. The Government needs to look into thier activities and unethical practices....................another bail ou to an industry that caused this mess in the first place ...........I warn you to stay away from this company.
I gaurantee that they will be out of business in a year! Watch
Meade CaptureView Binocular/Camera Sucks
- - Origin not stated; it is claimed to be made in China.
- - No Windows Vista drivers; the site does not list the camera and offers no email support.
I recently bought the Meade CaptureView CVB 1003-2 Binocular/Camera.
Nowhere in the advertisement for this product did it mention where it was made.
1. It is made in China.
2. They don't have drivers for Windows Vista and a support person told me they will not write and distribute those drivers.
3. The support person's solution was to find a computer running Windows XP and install the drivers there.
4. I did that. The drivers would not load on that PC either.
5. Their web site does not list the camera as one of their products.
6. Their web site does not offer email support.
Summary: Don't buy Meade products. They suck.

I need the drivers/software, XP is fine, for the CVB1003 8x22 binoculars.Please email me if you can help:HavvaFunn@***.comThanks in advance,JS
Same problem, I guess this was a bad purchase, I will keep this company name in mine for future purchase.
I have the same issue and problem. The drivers are for Win98SE or below.
There is no soure for WINXP drivers. It's basically useless, other than I guess you can use it as a pair of generic binoculars.
same with me...*** MEADE!
