Please let us know how it goes.

Side note: Don't know exactly why (seemingly all) of the GPS companies are calling it "firmware" updates but it really is nothing more than different software for the little Windows CE computer.

Update For Maestro 4250

I loaded the new update last night. I tried it on a random journey today. It seems to work a little faster. Did not appear to get quicker GPS acquisition when turning on in AM. Location accuracy is pretty good for a "Citizen" GPS. I will give it an extensive try to confuse test this weekend and see if it really re-calculates faster. All in all a great unit. I purchased it about a month ago after turning in a new Sanyo.

holy cow.. i go my windmill....YEAH!!!

okay. yes, i did install the new firm where.
it works good. it seems quicker on the calulating reroute. i tested out this past weekend. i have never had a issue with sat sync. always fast and exceptional. thank you all. please, dont forget to tip your waitresses.

4250 firmware update

Well I used my 4250 in peak hours of driving in downtown Toronto before and after firmware updates and boy o boy you can tell the difference not only is 4250 faster but the signal strenth is a bit stronger too (you notice this while manouvering under the over bridges @ toronto downtown area)
