I am hoping they send out a 705 update.

Its been long overdue from what ive heard after they recalled the latest firmware.

There *is* a 705 update.
The updater tells me about it and asks if I want to update.
Then it goes out to lunch and never completes the download.

rm -rf

Try some of the methods in this Garmin forum thread. So far the problems have been minor

Note--it will reset your settings and your history. I'll wait another week or so to see if any more problems crop up. The last update, 3.2, was recalled and canceled.

Try downloading the update, and saving it as gupdate.gcd on the 705, and see if it'll update from that. From the garmin forum:
See this BF thread on manual updates.

Sweet, thanks for posting this! Updating my 800 now!

Let us know how the update goes and if you find any problems with it.

Well I updated without a hitch, it went pretty fast. I tried out the day/night views, and the night view pretty much just inverts the colors on the data fields (i.e., white text on black), and it also inverts the colors on the maps so the streets are white and the rest is black. I actually may try to keep it in night mode just to see if it is more visible during the day just to try it out.

I'll report back Thursday when I go on a ride if I notice anything different/broken/fixed.

Hallelujah! Night mode!
