That's funny, the 10 page "manual" never mentioned that high res downloadable database (you'd have thought it would have come on the CD), and the tech support guy that I beat up on the phone didn't mention it either, he just apologized for the low resolution, with an explanation that it was ported from the PDA! And I think I read every word in the FAQ. I guess you can have the greatest software in the world, but if your instructions won't tell the poor guy on the other end how to use it, it's not the greatest software in the world. The tech guy did mention that their database was missing airports, apparently due to a problem with their data "harvester". He'd been unaware of that until I told him about it, and further investigation proved it to be true. That alone turned me off, not to mention the resolution and cost of the GPS. The fact that I had to create my airport as a waypoint didn't do much for my confidence in the software. It's good to know that I wasn't completely wrong though, and the $99 price for the software was a bargain, now that I know the resolution isn't so crappy.
