stevez2436 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMcCand - N248CT Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony & Rose Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 There is also a Garmin notice out there. The Garmin update will resolve the problem. v4.40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Bill Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Bill Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
207WF Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlfpckrs Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
