Sounds like maybe you didn't even make it to the Firmware page (with links to original discussion and supporting documentation) where the warning is posted? I know many Oregon 6x0 users frequent this forum and I wanted to share this information with them by providing the source where I first learned about this issue. I am certain some of them will appreciate it. Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 As a mod (that also runs resources where I rely on community support) I have to walk a careful line, I'll admit to typing and then discarding a request/warning that it'd have been more tasteful IMHO, to include some amount of the text of the problem and direct links to the discussion. In the future, please include a more self contained post. Sites like GPSrchive are a tradition of GPS - indeed, most tech topics - but try a more balanced approach that compromises page views and a flow of information. Garmin 6x0 users upgrading to 5.20 should see the gpsrchive forum discussion and bugreport#80 about garbled background images. HHL, Atlas Cached - like you - is a long time member here with a long history of helping others. Please be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment

fujitsu Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi, it seems that Garmin gave up from the upgrade 5.20. I could not find it with Garmin Express. Any news? Regards Quote Link to comment
