This is going to be quick. I've been trying since yesterday to update the maps on my Garmin GPS. Today I talked to a tech at Garmin who ran me through the whole process to the point I had started to install the new file. He told me at 3 pm that it should take about 2 hours, but at 7:30 pm the thing is still running. I haven't been able to read much of my email today, haven't read any blogs, and I don't know when I'll get a chance.
I have looked for several weeks at new GPS models, but all have new extra features that I don't need or want, or they have taken away some of the features I really liked about my GPS. I decided I'd try again to install new maps, but so far I haven't had much luck. I will leave my computer running if it hasn't finished when I go to bed this evening, and you can bet I'll be back on the phone with that tech 1st thing tomorrow!
