Republican,
I'm new (registered last night) and I haven't been a member long enough tho PM through the site. However, if the garmin is still available, I'd like to try it. I just don't know how long before I can PM you unless it's allowed to answer you if you PM me.(??)
Thanks,

I got the PM, - I'll send the unit out to you in the morning.
I did get the Webupdater to work, and the firmware updated.
But it does have a problem: the internal clock battery is dead, so when you first turn it on, the date comes up with a random year, sometimes in the future, and sometimes in the past.
But, and as mentioned on all of the Garmin forums (for that model), if you leave it on long enough, the date does eventually does right itself, and sync's up with the satellites for the correct time. That process takes anywhere from a couple minutes, to 20+ minutes.
But as soon as you turn the unit off, that date is lost, and is not saved.
But other than that, it's a great unit, and I hope you put it to good use.
