Same here, I also have the Garmin 75 and when checking twice last year with
Garmin about this rollover was assured that there would be no problem but
found out this morning;.. nothing. Did the re-initialization but nothing ,
downloaded the file now I must get the PC cable so next week will find out
if the promises will hold this time.
Gotta love that technology....
