Garmin Sucks!!!

Garmin burned me again. You'd think I'd learn, but for some reason I have not. Their dreaded MapSource software won't load on a PC that doesn't have a C: drive, so I can't install it on my laptop for the time being. Also, I made the mistake of going online and purchasing their Baja maps. Big mistake. When it downloads, it downloads as gmapsupp.img. So, they're downloading an image file, instead of the normal files that would be loaded into MapSource. So, this means that I can't combine my Garmin maps with other maps. Thanks, Garmin, you fucked me again. You'd think I'd learn. Well, they say the definition of a fool is a person who does the same thing over and over and expects to get different results. So, I'm through with Garmin. When I get back, I'm going to ebay this unit and get what I can for it. Then, I'll wade into cyberspace and see what their competitors have to offer, as I can longer suffer through this nightmare that is Garmin.
