Oh well, at least it's been identified and I'm not losing my mind! I'll watch for some future firmware revision to mention it and that will FINALLY be the fix to get me to pull my mobiles and get the T2s upgraded! While you're at it and assuming there's code space, how about 2 digits as well as the 1 that the documentation currently implies is supported? Any chance it might be done before mid-June? I'm hoping/planning to take a T2/Alinco/Nuvi setup to Spain for a vacation then. Not that an additional digit of accuracy will help anything, it'd just be nice to be running the latest for the trip!
