im using vista.. the 6.14.1 is really slow and details there doesn't show at view of 300-700m from sea level.. unlike at this version where 15km from sea level details are still there...

it's still slow as compared to 6.13.x; i haven't tested with the BlueCharts however.

Im on 6.5 but it came with mine purcased in the states with City Navigator USA MAPS VERSION 7.0

wondering what up with your 6.1x versions. Must be because of the free download from the Garmin Labs site?

But none the less the 6.5 works fine with the PHRoadguide maps. Now it just a matter of putting more data in the maps.

Confirmed with mine. I upgraded to 6.15.3 running on XP Pro. No problems so far and looks better too. I did not really notice any slowness. I did a hard reset on my Nuvi and reloaded maps and POI without problems. I also have the latest firmware so that may help?

Its just a matter of the software reading the same map so I don't know how the "improved" code would make it slower. But that's just my experience and I can't speak for everyone else.

Next I'll test Vista Business edition...

Whats a Blue chart?

From Garmin's site..."Whether you're exploring new coastline or cruising your favorite bay, BlueChart Pacific contains the most detailed marine cartography around. These electronic nautical maps give you peace of mind when navigating offshore." http://www8.garmin.com/cartography/m...artPacific.jsp

Thanks Borgie. I guess thats not needed on my end then. So I can use the newer version of mapsource.

Mapsource 6.15.3

I was installing City guide Europe NT 2009 and the damn thing upgraded mapsource to 6.14.1 which was, as warned, painstakingly slow
However after upgrading to 6.15.3 it seams to be refreshing/responding just as quick as the 6.13.7 was? I'll try this for a while and keep it unless I expirience any problems? If no problems or speed issues, I won't bother the "hazzle" going back to the 6.13.7.

Good luck to me

Please let us know how the v6.15.3 upgrade performs. If no issues with it like the v6.14.1 might as well give it a try...

So far so good :-) to me it seems to work just as good as the 6.13.7, and with "better" graphic?
