I just received this in an Aviation newsletter and wanted to make sure all are aware...

HEADS-UP FOR GARMIN GPS III PILOT AND GPSMAP 195 OWNERS:

In recent days,

GARMIN International received a couple of user reports of GPS III Pilot

and GPSMAP 195 portable navigators seeming to lock up when users

entered

a VOR or waypoint name starting with the letters X, Y or Z. Turns out

this glitch was triggered by the introduction of some new intersections

in the latest Jeppesen database update. On April 24, GARMIN released a

free operating software update that corrects the problem.

 

NOTE: If this means you, see AVweb's NewsWire for more, plus a

direct

link to download bug-fixing software, at .
