Good news!!! Garmin have some beta firmware: v2.86... get it here: http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection....ct=010-00697-01 I've done some before / after screen shots. The new firmware seems to make the maps a *lot* clearer for zooms 300ft+ Here you go (v2.80 on the top row, v2.86 below). Here's another location:

They sent me this 22nd Jan... as yet no new firmware... Thank you for contacting Garmin Europe. Thank you for your feedback on the GB Discoverer mapping. This mapping is a new format of mapping which works differently to other maps as it has both an image layer and routing layer. Our software engineers are currently working on an update for the Oregon to improve the way that it displays the image layer and also hide the additional routing layer from the display. This will not have any detrimental effect on the functionality of the mapping and should enhance the display of the GB Discoverer mapping. To check for software updates on the Oregon please visit http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4052 I do believe that the update may well have been released today. If there is anything else I can help you with then please let me know. Alternatively you can search for a solution here: http://www.garmin.com/support Kind regards Craig Davis Garmin ( Europe ) Ltd
