No idea what happened to that 'missing' post of yours IG. Someone somewhere is probably looking at it right now thinking 'that is sooo random! whatever this guy is smoking cannot be legal'... lol ! I know naught about Magellans and have no desire to start. It's nice you are kind to oppressed minorities though ...

....... OH has anybody got any other older Devices that still work.
I don't mind a slight mod to the topic. ^_^

I have a StreetPilot 2610 in amazingly pristine condition. I still use it in the car occasionally for fun, it's highly accurate (SBAS enhanced, switchable) but unfortunately can't use NT maps. Stuck with the old non-NT CN AU 2009. I'd like to mod it to use NTs somehow. That was done via a fw upgrade for a related Garmin unit, the Honda Goldwing navi, so it may be possible to modify the SP fw too. Bit above my pay-level though so i'll need serious help from the software gurus. Dunno if they'd be interested in doing the fw work for such an old unit, but there are still a load of them around 'cos they're waterproof and tough. Popular with bikers. Need external power unfortunately, no onboard battery. Uses Topo maps so could be a good outdoor unit with a battery source, but a bit chunky.

I'm sure there are other working Garmin museum pieces around, much older than my 2610 though. Let's hear about 'em hey guys?
