I think there's different software numbers for Windows and Mac.
My Windows version is 6.0

I have not done the update yet.
Thanks for the heads-up. I spent this rainy Saturday updating all 4 of my Garmins. What's always interesting to me is the difference in file sizes of the map update between the various units I own. At least this update was fairly painless, and only the Montana also included a system software update as well as a map update.

I used the Nuvi when driving to Kansas City last week and everything with the map update looked OK so I updated both Nav Vs today.
I happened to tap the map screen and saw a search icon show up in the upper right corner.
When I tap that I get a bunch of options like gas, restaurants, motels, ect.
I never noticed the search icon before. Is it new?

Good to hear I'm not the only one to never notice it
Looks like the icons are a little small to use with gloves, but may be useful when off the bike and no gloves.

This review of the Nav V, in GlobeRiders, is quite useful (much of it also applies to the Nav VI as well). You'll see mention of that search icon, and much more.

I see why I have not noticed the search icon. You need to be zoomed in to .8mile or less to see it.
Thanks for the link, I saved it.
A really nice feature (thank you Garmin) is the ability to preform a WhereTo? search from the Map page using the on-Map search button. The default "search near" is the center of the Map regardless of your current physical position and you have to be at 0.8mi or lower scale to activate the WhereTo? button. Once it's active you can move the map and zoom-in/out on the map as you desire before selecting your search. I think it would be a great enhancement if you could choose to do an "area" search or "along an active route" search from the Map. If you think so too, ask for it at www.Garmin.com/ideas.
TIP: Even though the search results may only show one return, zoom-in on the area and look for small Blue Dots.
