So there is a new software update on the Magellan website for the 3225. Anybody try it? Does it screw up the map file? http://www.magellangps.com/sup...otes.asp?supportID=817 Also, new maps. How many POI's are in it and is anybody using it...

Has anybody figured out how to install any red light camera files?

And apparently the 6 million POI is wrong. I noticed the customer review for the product on Radio Shack.com: "This is an excellent unit, however there are 1.3 million PoI (which is not nearly enough) rather than the 6 million that the product description states. This is an important feature...

Interesting. Looks like Radio Shack is now selling a 3225. The description says it includes 6 million POI's. http://www.radioshack.com/sm-m...-3225--pi-2976096.html

What do you mean by a black background? My 1.26 firmware has a black background when in night mode. Is that what you mean?

It's not as loud as other units out there for sure. But I find it sufficient for my needs. I don't even have the speaker volume up all the way at all times. If you have a louder car and have your radio turned up it might be difficult at times to hear it. But then you can always just use the...

Do we yet know the differences between the various firmware versions?

Cool. Thanks for the update. Sounds like 1.26 is a lot like 1.36. Can anybody confirm what differences there are in 1.26 and 1.36?

Anybody know what the difference is between firmware 1.26 and 1.36? How do we upgrade the firmware on the 3225? There doesn't seem to be any reference at all to 3225's on Magellan's web site.

Or look at the Magellan 3225 from Costco. Bright screen, (possible 6 million POI's), TTS, and thin case. $199 online or in-store right now.

The 3225 with TimeKeepers new found way to load 6 million POI's. This is now an incredible value. It was $179 in November... no $199 but still a great value for a great machine. Looks great too.

Mine purchased in the US is firmware version 1.26 and hardware version -2. What does everyone else have?

Are you using a PC? What operating system? With WinXP it should just show up as a hard drive.

The extended POI file seems to work good. Just uploaded it to my device with no problem.

Thanks for this thread. Good stuff. I unrared the two files but my combined file size is 188 MB (197,945,228) bytes after doing a right click on the file and properties. Is this the right size? I see in the first post the file is 200 MB
