Default Anybody Use The Garmin Nuvi GPS?

Ruh-roh.

"...There is apparently something VERY wrong with a firmware update that got pushed to Garmin Nuvis (one of their portable GPS systems.)

If you have one of these, and have not used it recently, do not until you check with Garmin! If your unit has the "bad" firmware it may go completely dead, requiring replacement..."

Looks like a good heads up.

Used mine on a trip from Carson City, NV to BOLA and back with the LB maps Mexico card......mostly accurate. No major problems.

Is this a problem with a specific model NUVI????
