Sorry for the misunderstanding. Wish I could remove bad point. IMHO, Doug likes to seed fear uncertainty and doubt about Magellen products over the years without citing any data and speaking off the cuff. I keep finding data on the internet that confirms the problem you are having (I have put the links up in old posts). But I also wanted to warn other people that the newest Garmins have the same problem as your older model. I feel strongly about it because I was very dissapointed after parting with 400 dollars
