Another reason I hate Garmin
They will ask you to download "webupdater" easy ,, no individual download ,, we will do it all for you.
DL files is only 7MB ,, and after expanding it becomes 16MB ,,, then here is the kicker ,,, once you execute the program ,, it will create a directory under application data ,, talking windows now ,, and will install,, precisely ,, 777MB of unwanted file with out your permission.
Now let say ,, you are enamoured with Android , and want Garmin out of your PC ,,
So you go to the control panel , you delete ,,, mapsource,,usb driver,,garmin maps ,, all garmin names.
So your PC is clean of Garmin?
Now on your desktop ,, launch search ,, file or folders ,, garmin ,, you will find some 12 ,, hidden files ,, some you can not delete what so ever ,, most of dll files ,,
Ok ,,, so you give up ,, then you go to start ,, right click on the mouse ,,, explore ,, go to program files ,, application data ,, WHAM ,, there is this 777 MB files from garmin ,, which you've launched by opening that 16MB file ,,,
They want to know ,, what maps,,from whom,,what system ,,
And it all goes back to Taiwan,, head office of Garmin.
This is my humble opinion.
get a smart phone ,, android ,, get a free gps ,, google navi ,, locus.com
Please do not send me 10 PMs
Thank you.
