    I did "just follow directions" and it didn't work.

    After an hour of fighting busy signals at Garmin, they have confirmed
    that re-initializing will not work with my GPS120 and are sending
    the required upgrade, etc.

    Apparently extropolating one experience with a particular Garmin
    model and version is a long inductive leap for a different model
    and version....

    Hopefully all will eventually be well.

    Just follow directions. The patch specifically addressed to
    the EOW is only to
    set a date and is not necessary in most cases to reacquire the
    satellites.

    Just reinitialize your unit. It says how on the same listing
    of products on
    the web page.

    Some older units have software patches to fix various problems,
    but I don't
    think any are related to the EOW issue.

    I have a 45 (v 2.53) and a 12 as backup, and both are working
    great. I had to
    reinit the 45 just like it says in the instructions, but the
    12 rolled over
    like a champ.

    Good Luck,
