3.10

Personally i have tried all the new updates since 2.7 and always go back to 2.7 because of the exact same behaviour you described.

Look at the following -

Firmware 3.20 - http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=46215

Although this covers version 3.2 i and many others had the same problems with 3.1 too...

Older and the newer 3.2 firmwares can be found at http://www.gpsinformation.org/perry/streetpilot/sp_ix/

With version 2.7 have you found the map has stopped freezing?

I have read the posts on the new software problems and I have the same problem. In 3D map mode the map keeps freezing, but the roads and all other info keeps updating fine.

Has going back to 2.7 helped and what hae Garmin said?

Thanks for your help!

Yes. Basically i was on 2.7 and each version since has introduced major problems with freezing, lag, lock up and white screens whilst also introducing nice but minor enhancements.

EXACTLY what is being said in the other link i gave you. Not all but certainly the majority have the same problem.

Every-time i have asked them about it i either hear nothing, they deny any knowledge of the problem at all (despite many other here reporting it to them) or suggest useless resets and reloading the firmware.

Before you load a new Firmware backup your Favourites with EasyGPS -

as they will be wiped from the i3. All recent destinations may also be lost.

I don't know how they can say they are not aware of any problem.

If I unload all the POI's it all workd perfectly. Add any POI's and suddenly it all goes t!ts up!!!!!

I have sent off an e-mail to them, and will await there response.

Thanks for your help!

Just updated (of that is the word!) to V2.7 and will see if that helps.

I know this might sound stupid, but all my POI's are on the internal memory of my i3. I have ordered a card reader and should get this tomorrow. Now the problem with the hang ups seems to be the memory of the i3 struggling to cope. My hope is to move all my POI's to the T/F Card to see if easing the internal memory helps.

Don't know if anyone has tried that and can tell me it does feck all to help?
