If Western Europe 2.4 is anything like Garmin USA or NA 2.3 as far as the main program executable is concerned, then the /etc/hosts trick will not work. Supposedly someone has gotten 2.3 to work but he hasn't provided any additional details on what was done to get it to work. It is definitely not calling home, as I get that error in 2.3 regardless of whether I put my phone in Airplane Mode. IMHO unless you really need the iCloud feature, FourSquare, Wikipedia, and/or Glympse...you're better off just sticking with 2.2. I wanted to get 2.3 to work, if only because of the issues I was having with the Weather and Google Local Search features not working...but once I figured out what the deal was, I really have no reason to move up from 2.2, especially given that Garmin has found a way to get around the /etc/hosts loophole.
