Wow. A crumb of appreciation from His Magesty's well-laden table. Thank you my liege.

BTW, I saw situation of "where the map page doesn't have any roads or info showing just as if the device doesn't have a detail map loaded for the location" once running Street Pilot on android. And I had to re-installed Street Pilot to fixed it.

Thanks be to God I know very little about SP on Andoid. However, if Garmin devices didn't have the comprehensive hard-reset or clear nonvol available they'd be frequently completely hosed because us aren't able to do anything meaningful with their OS. At least with Android, iOS and similar types of OSs including Windows it's possible to not only re-install software programs but of course customize, repair and even re-install the actual OS. Garmin doesn't let us anywhere near that far into their secrets of course, although the OS does appear to be Linux-based but very indirectly so. About time some smart coder did something about that isn't? Better than spending your time picking on a lowly journeyman you should be cracking G's closed OS. Good luck with that ........
