Hi Marko!

But I think you have not yet tried the Oregon. If you think that other 
Garmin devices have bad software then you should look at the Oregon to 
taste really bad software!

My boyfriend jogged some days before at rain through the nearby forest. 
Afterwards the display of his forerunner was wet inside and broken. The 
forerunner was not completely damaged, he could read out his tracks, but 
the display remained dead even after a day. It had let water in but not 
out again.

OK, you are right. It is not that I would have something against 
furniture shops, it's more that I think there are more necessary shops 
that were forgotten. In older Garmin devices like the Etrexes one could 
easily use new numbers that let to multiple "Others" menus. In the 
Oregon the number is range is limited.

I know that it is not easy to translate things correctly since the 
people who translate must know the context. And always errors can 
happen. I once worked for a company that built mobile phones. There we 
had often bad translations. For example, the word "left". The translator 
had not read the text that explained, that we meant, how many credits 
are left. So he translated it with the opposite of "right". Or another 
saw the word "English". In the explanation was written: "Do not 
translate it with the word "English" in your Language, but write down 
the name of your language in your language. So we got the greek word for 
english (Anglika) in the greek menu instead of "Ellinika". (All with 
greek letters, of course)

Yes, indeed. It will perhaps confuse the Oregon users a bit, since they 
will find it under sorts of "holiday places", but they will live with 
it. ;-))))

Hey, I am from Bavaria and I can tell you for sure that Bavaria belongs 
politically to Germany even if there are Bavarians who would deny it! 
;-))) But perhaps we get independent again, with an own king, like in 
the good old days.

He was also the "real" inventor of Cinderellas Castle:
