Hi John,

In my experience with Garmin, they probabilly will fix the problem
within 3 months. I had many problems with several Garmin Gps
(GpsMap130, Map76 and Map276C) regarding the NMEA interface with my
autopilot AH/ST4000, and after reporting the problems Garmin had fixed
it within 3 months. The fix consisted of including the BWC message and
implementing the Advanced NMEA Setup (Wpt Numbers x Names). Off
course, there are another's problems that they do not recognize and
have not fixed, like the problem with the promotion of the last go-to
within a route even after a power-off/power-on, which I think is wrong
and others revendications, like the support for AIS receiver etc.

Best Regards

Pascal
