[mkgmap-dev] Haiti OSM problem on Garmin 76CSx

Tue Jan 19 14:52:50 GMT 2010

Hi, and thanks for your quick response,

I can check the firmware version, that's a good thought.

This is my first OSM map.  I've never seen this problem with the GPS unit
before, and it started immediately after I loaded the map.  I'm on OSX, and
I copied into a folder called "Garmin" on the device using USB mass storage
mode.
