Thank you Marvin.
Like to see the Traffic and Google buttons found in GMXT, nevertheless, I enjoy the software very much. |

I wonder if it will fix the incompatibility with MapSource software version 6.14.1 ?
And it is still showing Garmin Mobile PC software version 5.00.30 as of September 30, 2008 at: http://www8.garmin.com/support/downl...ls.jsp?id=4049 |

Try this link:
http://www8.garmin.com/software/Garm...lePC_50050.exe It's 144MB so it's not a short download. I haven't installed it yet and I can't find an official posting for it anywhere on Garmin's site, so try at your own risk. ...ken... |

Funny, I could have sworn I downloaded it from the first link but it isn't there now! Anyway, it installed fine on my tablet. The installation took longer but the other upgrades were only 20 meg. As soon as I update MapSource, I'll see if it works.

I just tried sending a waypoint from MapSource 6.14.1 to GMPC 5.00.50. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.

I'm not sure that anyone else cares about this but 5.00.50 can no longer identify my GPS10x as a Garmin product. It comes up as COM4:BthModem2 instead of GPS 10x Software v2.20 etc. I also lose the power options for that unit. It still works ok but I went back to 5.00.30 anyway.

The Garmin page linked originally by erictai in the very first post has been edited. It now no longer mentions version 5.00.50.

Garmin might have decided to do some last minute improvement(s) to the upcoming version 5.00.50. By the way, if anyone @ Garmin happens to read this, I think there are several people around here, who would be more than willing to help with Beta testing, if needed. Just ask. Or better yet, join the forum.
It's interesting that the new upgrade file will be so much larger than the previous ones. I wonder what additional data it contains.

I think Garmin withdrew the new version for more bug fixes that they forgot, just laugh if you don't believe me.

It's good to see a company actually working on their product.

I also thought itt was interesting that they skipped over 5.00.40. Perhaps they've decided to make 5.00.50 work with the new version of MapSource too (Hint, hint ; if anyone at Garmin is listening/lurking).

My guess is they have to correct the scan order for the GPS. It should scan Bluetooth first, especially if you tell it to. The MapSource problem will probably need a MapSource update.
