Garmin Vista 2.23 Update

Don't ya get impressed when software version numbers start rolling over faster than a petrol pump.

 

At times it doesn't give one a great deal of confidence. Sometimes it's best to say a version or so behind and let new versions settle down (let someone else find the problems).

 

Cheers, Kerry.

The fact that they are response to users input (returning the track display to its previous form when users complained), and seem to be constantly looking for things to improve, does give me a great deal of confidence. Given the choice, I'd much rather deal with the occasional glitch, than with a company that has a "take it or leave it" attitude.

Certainly being Pro-active is good and for sure there are some manufacturers where support just about falls on deaf ears.

 

The main point above was one has to be sure some of these updates/upgrades (or whatever one wants to call them) don't get pushed through so quick that other problems are caused. Hence the comment to say a version "or so" behind.

 

In the example above the problem may/may not have been critical (but it could very well have been) so "sitting" on 2.21 (when 2.22 was released) would have saved the hassle of 2.22, then if 2.21 wasn't broken there's a decision to make to jump this update principle and become a "pioneer" of 2.23 (could be better but could be worse?), or let someone else find that out first.

 

In the Vista's case almost 50% of all software releases have been for pure operational bug fixes (correcting errors etc) but those manufacturers that "listen" to users requirements/ideas etc is slightly different agenda to bug fixes.

 

Cheers, Kerry.
