stevez2436 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Just got the attached mailing from Garmin that XM Weather has a problem and an immediate Garmin software update is necessary. I assume this update applies to the Garmin 696 unit.
BMcCand - N248CT Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I found it surprising that they sent a snail-mail postcard. I get email every week about the latest music channels, and I don't subsribe to music .
Tony & Rose Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 There is also a Garmin notice out there. The Garmin update will resolve the problem. v4.40
NC Bill Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 FWIW - I called GARMIN and was told it only applies to 396 & 496 NOT 696. No guarantee expressed or implied...your mileage may vary...but that what the tech told me.
NC Bill Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 Since I had to uninstall the unit to update databases, I upgraded my 696 to Rev 4.40 yesterday. The one noticeable change is that now there is an XM-WX splash screen with the usual legal disclaimer of responsibility. I guess it's possible that's the only change. So now instead of hitting the ENTER KEY once to activate the unit, we get to do it twice.
207WF Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 I didn't read it as applying to the 496. I have not updated mine and the XM WX is still working. WF
wlfpckrs Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Just received a phone message about needing a Garmin XM software update. Anyone know if this is new - and NOT the one from early March? I've already done that one.
CT4ME Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 There was an April 20th update for Aera 5XX units... March 26 for 696 tim
