I contacted Garmin on the multiple country thing - when you select Where to you get multiple language versions of the same country like:

Belgie
Belgique
Belgium

Cymru
Wales

etc.

Their reply

Will be sticking with 2.7 until I hear more positive things about this update. Didn't get a chance to upload the new firmware over the weekend as intended.

SWMBO complains about the peculiarities of the i3 enough as it is, would dread to hear her comments at a frozen screen, she'd probably pluck the unit from the windscreen and pitch it out of the window.

I had 2 lockups during a trip to the south coast today with v2.90 the only way I could bring it back to life was to power down the unit.

Not very happy..... will send garmin an email once I get my i3 serial number.

Think it will be best to rollback to 2.70 in the meantime although I feel Garmin will have to rushout another update.... heres waiting for v3.00 Wink

No matter whether the firmware is updated by using the web updater or manually, surely upon completion the end result should be the same... once all updates have been applied that is... or am I missing something somewhere?

use the new update today and found it really slow at times and had few lockups, no white screen of doom yet but its just not the same, put in a route had to go round aroundabout twice before it told me which exit yes twice.

I also found after the horrid trips the wass, egnos was turned off which I knows I did`nt turn off as we know its better so maybe thats one reason it got things so wrong and slow updates today with the weather been bad the unknown factor of it all, we see if turning the waas,egnos back on makes a difrence tomorrow, if not its back to 2.70.

I totally baffled. Worked fine this afternoon / evening for a couple of hours. I tried EGNOS and it was going loopy again - carrying on down roads i'd turned off etc, screen suddenly rotates 45 or 90 degrees for a second and then corrects.... Normal seems better with both 2.7 and 2.9.

Getting fed up with this. Surely one firmware should be better than another so why do people experience differences with features such as Normal vs EGNOS?
