Made an successful update to my 4.2 version that couldn't update. Seems to start well.

The geocaching proximity alert seems to be working nicely now with large .ggz files. Tested it with a .ggz containing almost 10000 caches. No boot problems so far.

Seems prudent to wait if they haven’t even claimed to address issues with the last couple of versions.
No choice I guess if you were one of those with bricked units.


Ohh.. you have to copy the update file to the disk manually :D :D :D haha!

Why didn't Garmin fix all the bugs from the last year?
