Hello and thanks for that. I made the download and will install it when I return to the boat.
Unfortunately they have fixed a lot of stuff but not what I really need.
Am I crazy to want to sit at a desk either on my boat or at home---plug an SD Card into the computer, view the charts on a large screen, do the research, plot the waypoints and routes and then send all that info to the GPS in one burst---
as opposed to--
sitting wedged into the chart table with my arm outstretched--scrolling through all the menues, pressing buttons and taking an hour to do what i could do in 30 seconds or less?
I must be missing something.
I dont see how it would cost Garmin anything to allow us to insert their chart into the Card reader of the computer, READ(not upload) the charts on the large screen of the computer and then
re-insert the card into the GPS and have all of the woaypoints and tracks be there.
I guess I am just crazy.
Thoughts?
Ed
