Anyone know if the accompanying V3.50 software update fixes the date rollover problem for the Nav V?
Ken
It fixed both of our Nav Vs.
With 57F in Boston today I rode around for 50-miles using the NavV to see if anything changed with the update. It seems to have a new female voice, the database seemed to know every stop-sign and traffic light in the western suburbs of Boston, and even better, the speed-limit changes happened instantly. Looks good so far...
My Nav V has always changed the speed limit display very close to the sign. I wish Garmin would do a better job of updating speed limit display.
It's not unusual the speed limit display on the Garmin is wrong.
What do you mean by "database seemed to know every stop-sign and traffic light in the western suburbs of Boston"
Do you see a symbol for stop signs and traffic lights?
My observation about stop-signs/traffic signals is not visual, but is an audible direction by the NavV voice telling me when navigating, as an example, "turn right at the stop sign," or "turn left at the traffic light." Occasionally when navigating I'll hear something like: "Turn left after the church." It does seem to have more information than before. I have my NavV preference set on the most detailed setting. Perhaps that's the reason? I dunno.
Interesting John how it appears that each Garmin GPS model seems to use a different size map file.

Your Nav-V appears to be a different size than my Nav-VI file and my three other Garmin GPS units are also all different:
- Nav-V = 5.6GB
- Nav-VI = 6.05GB
- DriveAssit50 = 6.87GB
- Nuvi 58 = 3.79GB
- Nuvi 56 = 3.42GB
Lee, which model Nuvi do you have? On Saturday I just helped setup a friend's new Zumo 396LM and forgot to note the map file size.I checked the map update size for ours and it shows 6.05GB for both Nav V and 5.02GB for the Nuvi.

John, if that 5.9GB was for your Nav-V, and Lee's Nav-V map size showed as 5.02GB,.
