So how is 4.20.50wp working out for people? It looks like the same thing is happening as with 4.20.30wp, where the device eventually can't find the GPS on serial 4, and switches to the intermediate driver, causing the time to reset.

Thanks

It's working for me so far. But then I've had luck with .3 and .4 So YMMV. There's a few visual changes and the copyright in .5 were changed which I like (Small things I know...).

.50 has been working fine for me. Went on a two hour trip and took me directly to it with no probs.

Well I had the clock issue today. Same issue with the intermediate drive that others are having. The odd part is there seemed to be a gps fix using gpsviewer. Anyway, it's not biggie - just a clock.

It has more come in handy just finding local ponds and lakes. It even finds some small man made ones.
Ya I take mine on the boat too. I also use Google maps in satellite view like if I'm walking through the woods to a place. Then I can see the water I'm going to and see how to get there. Great combo the two.

any link to lake files?

hey guys, quick question. Garmin works well on my mogul, but i realized it's using the "intermediate driver" My main questions are: What exactly does that mean, and is it a bad thing?

I've tried setting it to use com4, but it searches and i guess automatically sets itself to intermediate.

I'm running the latest North American 2009 maps. Do I need extra POI's?

You don't need any extra POI's garmins maps come with a ton built in.You might want extra Poi's but that just depends on you.Some people live in areas with speed cameras and red light cameras and the have Poi's to show these and alert them when one is near.I have a ton of extra Poi's loaded but that is for geocaching.Any time I need to find something not in the built in Poi file I use either google mobile maps or Live search then import that to GMXT
