I think Garmin wants to see if you really do get 10K flashes on an eeprom. ;-) Version is 2.62
It has been properly aged, having been there is 11/10/2000. Incidentally, this firmware is supposed to get around the duplicate names on waypoints when uploading/downloading causing Mapsource crashes, so I am looking forward to this upgrade as I have had many crashes under those circumstances.
