Wow, I am at Software Version 2.50 and GPS SW Version 2.30 - guess I will be hitting the updater tonight as well.

Dayone,

 

Thanks for the heads up. I was 2.5/2.6. I'm now 2.6/2.6. I get lazy checking the updates. Your post got me off my duff.

 

To all........... Staying current on the updates is pretty important in order to maintain and maximize the potential of your unit. Even if your unit isn't displaying a problem that the upgrade is addressing, it might be fixing something that you're currently not using, but might use in the future.

 

Thanks again Dayone!
