ThomThom43 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The Garmin site says 6.15.7 is dated 10/09/09, but when you click on the link to download it, you are taken to another page of map programs. Does anybody know how to retrieve it? Quote Link to comment

JDiablo Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) You are getting their redirect for a missing software file. They haven't posted the file to their sever yet. Once they do, you should be able to get it here: http://www8.garmin.com/software/MapSource_6157.exe Their link is correct, the file just isn't there.

jkettu Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 So, the map distortion at higher latitudes still not fixed? Quote Link to comment

Moorheadbigj Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) It is not listed under the change history. Changes made from version 6.15.6 to 6.15.7: ◦Fixed an issue where maps could not be transferred on certain non-English Windows installations. ◦Reduced size of symbols when configured to use small symbols. ◦Fixed an issue finding campgrounds on some newer map products.

753951 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 On Windows 7 x64 I'm seeing massive memory leaks. It's most apparent with map of Japan from http://uud.info, but it can be reproduced with latest City Navigator North America. I have .gdb file with selected all 470 map segments (Japan 1:25000 Road Navigator), 40 waypoints, 9 routes and 2 tracks. I zoom in 4-5 times, zoom out, then select one route and select "Show Selected Route On Map" and MapSource takes 1.9GB of memory. After that map start to show all kind of artifacts since 2GB is address space limit for 32-bit applications. It takes a bit more zooming in and out in 6-7 large North American cities but memory consumption also jumps north of 1GB very soon. It did that with previous two versions. I tried MapSource v6.11.5 and memory usage never goes over 32MB. God, I forgot how fast that version is! Quote Link to comment

+Whittling Fisher Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Is anyone having trouble opening their "My Finds" query in the new MapSource? I can load any other PQ just fine, but when I try to open the one for my finds it crashes MapSource. Just curious if there is a solution to this or if it is a new problem. Quote Link to comment

Just tried it with my latest MyFinds PQ that was generated on 10/08...no issues. The only thing I can think of is that I found a puzzle cache that is listed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The older My Finds PQ I had saved opened fine before that. If the coords for that cache are outside the range of the maps in MapSource, will it cause the file to not load and MapSource to crash? I wouldn't think it would matter, but I'm drawing a blank as to what is causing the problem. Quote Link to comment

+Whittling Fisher Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Well, that isn't the problem either. I just found an old "My Finds" PQ in my email from a month ago and tried it. It crashes MapSource too. Quote Link to comment

No error messages during install. Nothing else running. Rebooted and still not working. ALso tried reinstalling MapSource. I created a new PQ for 100 near my home coords. I downloaded it and it opens just fine. The only thing that won't open is the My Finds PQ. Weird. Quote Link to comment

I was going to ask how many finds you had, but looking at your profile it looks like 700+ so I doubt the issue is the number of waypoints you're loading (since mine has 2,900+). Could be a corrupt MyFinds...have you tried uploading to ItsNotAboutTheNumbers? If you have your DVD and any unlock codes handy, you could try un-installing MapSource and starting from scratch. If that doesn't do the trick...a call to Garmin's toll free support number. Quote Link to comment

I thought it might have been a corrupt file too, but it looks like it works fine with other programs. I may try calling Garmin and seeing what they think. Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas. I'll post back if Garmin enlightens me and shows me what is wrong. Quote Link to comment
