Default Whew! Got Lucky!!!

Hey CF and anyone else who purchased the waterways cd,

Garmin put out a "service bulletin" at
http://www.garmin.com/cartography/ma...WLservice.html

Portions of the navigational aid data were found to have significant errors
within sections of Coast Guard District Number 5, which encompasses New
Jersey through South Carolina. The physical positions of the navigational
aids appear to be correct. However, the details about each nav-aid have been
mislabeled with incorrect information, including color, type, range, etc,.
Garmin will provide the replacement data set at no additional charge upon
return of affected product.
Just an FYI if you happen to be in those areas

I've had a Garmin 12 for several years. I added a car lighter adapter so I
could leave it on all day and not worry about batteries. I also picked up
the MapSource Waterway & Lights software. It's $100, but it let's you save
waypoints and routes, as well as plot routes on the map. My setup is not
nearly as fancy as some of the newer rigs, but it sure works for me.
