Ran it for 2 days and really not impressed

The new auto colour scheme has been tweaked a bit, brown roads are now slightly red/brown but the contrast is still the pits and the screen appears washed out. Quite frustrated about the auto colours as it noticably affects the usability of the unit. Had a bitch about it on the newsgroups.

Seen some really odd routing issues. Also, each each time I power my unit up it does an autolocate. Others have commented on odd issues as well. Seems like Garmin may be trying out a few extra things in v3.92
Only one comment - try again

Reverted to v3.70 mainly for the auto colours

I have the v3.70 running on my unit. It sounds like I should just stick with it for now.

I'm using "Night Mode" always. Much better contrast in sunshine.

Also, each each time I power my unit up it does an autolocate.

Mine does the same. Takes 3-4 minutes to start it. I will also revert to 3.70.
