After upgarding to version 2.04 on my Garmin V my GPS locked up several times yesterday while navigating a route. It took several re-boots, cancelling the current route and creating a new route to get it back up and running. On one reboot it gave the error "Not enough memory to calculate route!".... If this happens again I think I will go back to 2.02. Anyone else with this problem?

Gunther, sorry to hear that you had problems with 2.04, Garmin should be very concerned, to have released 2.04 so close to the release of 2.03 means they are having problems. I sent my unit to them for warranty repair of the beeper tone. It left me with ver 2.02, came back with ver 2.03, and 2.04 was released the day I got it back. They are a good company and I am confident in the end they will straighten this thing out, ver 2.99?

Interesting, I had very simliar problems with 2.03, and downgraded back to 2.02. Then they released 2.04, I gave 2.04 a pretty hard pounding today and yesterday and it performed flawlessly.

 

I could make 2.03 lock-up VERY easily, and never had problems with 2.02.

I have NG Topo. I'm glad I waited to upgrade. Tks for the info. (Can't stand new software or ticks).
