And, in regard to my OP, I just want to say that if you're going to own a Garmin product that it's essential to establish an online account with them, register your device(s), and log on occassionally to check for/upgrade the device's software. And that way if/when the time comes that it needs to be returned for service...the required account is already established, and it's just a bit easier to correspond with them.
