Re: Garmin SP 2610 v.4.20

I tried to rename a route with v.4.20 and it didn't fail (or reboot).
Perhaps there's a bug that involves a special combination of characters (or
number of characters) that creates this problem? Who knows...

I think I'll stick with v.4.20 for now until I come across an issue.

Thanks!
