+stantastic Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I was using the 6.6.2 beta version of MapSource since it got released and have had no problems with it. I saw that Garmin released MapSource 6.7 on Aug 2, 2005 and I downloaded and installed it today. OS is Windows XP Home. When I do a "Find -> Find Places..." menu command it ALWAYS crashes with an application error AFTER I enter the find options and click "Find," no matter whether I choose "City," "Feature," "Address," or "Intersection.". When I try the "Find -> Find Nearest Places..." menu command, it appears to work (but of course I can't find an address). I even tried uploading the nRoute software to experiment with that. I get the same results for each of the Find menu options as I do in MapSource. Is anybody else experiencing this problem? I tried calling Garmin's Tech Support today, but with a 40 minute wait time, I gave up. Quote Link to comment
CenTexDodger Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Try to redownload the 6.7 upgrade, and reinstall it. It works fine for me, so I am not sure, but the above may help. Quote Link to comment
+hardwire Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I was able to blank out the COUNTRY value and everything seems to work now.... Quote Link to comment
markhp Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I was able to blank out the COUNTRY value and everything seems to work now.... It's not working right if it will crash with a country as a filter... Mine is crashing too, however I'm glad you pointed out removing the country field was a temp "fix" to this problem...

+Olar Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Here is an explanation from Garmin posted in the Canada Forum. Cheers, Olar Quote Link to comment
+stantastic Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 Thanks, guys!! Keeping the Country field blank did the trick. Guess I'll be waiting for the MapSource update. At least Garmin admits there's a problem... Quote Link to comment
+Record Holders Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Looks like Garmin posted MapSource 6.8 to fix this problem. Quote Link to comment
+northernpenguin Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Looks like Garmin posted MapSource 6.8 to fix this problem. Here's a link to the software update Mapsource 6.8.0 update Quote Link to comment
+ATMA Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Yep, 6.8.0 fixed mine too. Works just fine again. Quote Link to comment
+UteHans Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 A question of a beginner please: will I have to update elder versions before or can I update only the newest version? Thanks Hans Quote Link to comment
goodweather Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 As long as you have a Mapsource product on your computer, the update should work. Quote Link to comment
+UteHans Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 thanks so much! Now i will forget 6.7 and update to 6.8 :-) Quote Link to comment
+UteHans Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Now I updated from 6.0 to 6.8, and it seems to work poperly! Thanks again! Hans Quote Link to comment
+Riddlers Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I updated to the newer version and now my tracking is not there. I try to hook my unit up and before the update, I could use a red arrow to show where I was going but now it doesn't give me that option on the newer version or at least I can't find it. Help please.

CenTexDodger Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Check this thread, or this thread. This issue is pretty well covered in those two... Quote Link to comment
+Riddlers Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Thank you, I thought I was crazy. I downloaded the latest to be ready and now I guess I need to get back to an older version. Glad I still have my old disks. Quote Link to comment
