Saw a few spring birds out the yard this morning, so, cold as it is, we

Dug my Garmin GPS out of its winter hiding place, took off the dust
cover, and used my "accessory" two wire cord to plug it in and then
logged onto Garmin's site to see if there was a software update. There
was. Downloaded it, transferred it onto an SD card and...voila! *Now, if
warm weather would only get here.

The Garmin system software is fine, but I sure don't have much good to
say about its "Mapsource" software to add waypoints and suchlike from
your computer to the unit. It's klunky.

You must be doing it wrong, or trying to "guess" how to do it without
bothering to read the manual. There's nothing particularly clunky
about it.

I have no problems with mine, either.

It's VERY complicated!

select the "waypoint tool" which is the little green flag icon in the
menu bar

click on the point where you want to create a waypoint.

a window pops up where you can name the waypoint, (requires typing the
name)

select what icon it will use if other than default black square is
desired (drop down menu)

select what category or categories it will be listed in (check boxes)

Optional: a "comment" if wanted and a few otther parameters. Most of
the time, all you need to do is name it and select what categories you
want it listed under.

Yeah, but you know that Harry probably has a limited addition beta,
not released to the public, only him and three other people in the
world allowed access. Just like his music, and his software! At least
that will be his claim. I wonder if he uses his Garmin on his lobster
boat?
