Does anyboy think that the "drifting issue" is fixed with 2.80?

Thanks for the info!!!

As long as it provides the standard USB 5 volts, it should work fine. 1 amp is more than enough. Having a higher than required current rating won't cause any damage. Thank you!!

I have City Navigator 2009 Installed on my Vista HCx. The maps are working correctly. However, when i do a search for US interstate exits, the device says that it is using the "Americas Rec Basemap v4" on the "Exits" screen under "Map Info". Why doesnt this pull the info from my CN 2009? Turning the basemap off in options has no effect. The Basemap data seems to be old and out of date. Can the basemap be upgraded or can the device be directed to use the CN 2009 maps?

Does anyone know if i can use my PDA car power adapter (xv-6700 verizon) that supplies up to 1amp with the Vista HCx? I have this car adapter for the PDA with the Mini USB end and wanted to use that instead of buying the expensive garmin. I dont want to damage the HCx but i dont think it will take more than the rated power (1 amp) of the PDA power cord (cigarette lighter power cord) Thanks

I just received my Vista HCx today with 2.60/2.60. Should i upgrade to 2.70/2.60 or should i keep the factory firmware? Does upgrading cause the problem. I dont know when my unit was manufactured. Can i find that date?

I just bought a Vista HCx today and should get it in a few days. Hopefully it wil be a newer unit so i can report if it has the same issues. I cant believe garmin let this issue go on so long. I have always been happy with garmin in the past and hope i made the right decision. I think the best update is the 2.70/2.30 from what i read. I will report back with some tests soon!!
