MapSource software version 6.16.0.2 Beta as of March 3, 2010

http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3D4879
If you download and install this beta version which expires on April,
26 2010 it will not replace current 6.15.11 version. But I found out I
had to go to start, programs and highlight garmin then scroll down to
MapSource Beta and create a desktop icon for the beta version.
Changes made from version 6.15.11 to 6.16.0.2:
=E2=97=A6Fixed memory issues and crashes when running MapSource under Windo=
ws
7.

angle is now based on the extents of the map product.

overwritten without prompting).

creating a waypoint from a find result.

displayed as 'unauthenticated' in the Map Product Manager.
=E2=97=A6After a crash, the user now has the option to send an error report
directly to Garmin.

One thing I noticed right away in this beta versin that GPS Map Detail
is not displayed under map scale at bottom right of MapSource as it
always was in all previous versions.

No thanks. As most of us already know. It's very dangerous to be
Garmin's software beta tester ;)

Waypoints are sorted in what appears to be a somewhat random way in

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.'

Well that is one of the changes listed:
Routes, tracks and waypoints are now sorted numerically.
