    Here is a post from Wing-Rider on another forum:

    They sent me a new one. Ver 4.60. While the problems mentioned above seem to be corrected, one thing still won't work. I can't put a newer map on it. It will only fully function with the supplied map which is 2011.10. I tried loading an unlocked map 2011.40 onto the nav and the map works fine but you can't do any searches by name. All the letters and numbers are shaded out on 2011.40 but not on the supplied map 2011.10. All the POI's are there because search for nearest picks all of them up. For some reason, it won't pick up search by name POI's. I also looked in an area that has many POI's, and I see them all. I wonder why search by name won't detect them but nearest will.

    So, it looks like even with the 4.60 firmware, we won't have a fully functioning Navi if we use updated maps like 2012.40NT. Garmin really sux.

    I agree with you on the possibility of a next to useless navi. Without up to date maps, what good is it other than a rolling road map. Wonder if installing a newer map than 2011.10 from Mapsource to the CF card using the garmin ulocker woulld take care of some of the problems. Worth time experimenting....maybe.

    Here is a copy of the 4.60 firmware:

    It appears the firmware works only with the 2011.10 map. If you upgrade to a later map such as 2012.40, the letters & numbers are shaded out when you try to search. Thanks Garmin!!!

    Link is broken or possibly blocked by Google?
