This new version seems to be much more demanding on computer resources.  It is much, much slower than the previous version.  Is my computer just not capable or has anyone else noticed this?  I'm running in on XP 1.60 GHz processor with 768 mb of ram. 

Is there any way to go back to the previous version?

Jerry, just generally you need more RAM.  Running XP and just about anything else you're trying to float a navy with two rowboats and a popgun with that little RAM.

Jerry, I have the same XP with a little more ram(1.1G) and I couldn't run it.  It was even slow on a friends Quad Core, too much graphics data I think.   I sent an e-mail to Garmin but haven't received any response.

I reinstalled 6.13.7 (2009 update) and all is well again.  To go back, you need to uninstall MapSource completely.  Then reinstall the Mapsource base program first; after that you can reinstall the 6.13.7 directly.  You can skip any in between updates.  If you don't have the 2009 update, I'll send you a link to download it.

Same problem.  Where do you find 6.13.7?

Here you go- http://www.gpsinformation.org/perry/msource/ .  When you look at the site, they use "6137" instead of 6.13.7.  The reinstall will want to also download to your Garmin/Zumo, let it.

No problems with 6.14.1, but I'm running a meager 2GB of RAM.

same, 1.5 dual core with Vista Pro...

Runs fine

What else are you running; what processor?  My Pentium IV at 1.1GB won't handle it.  If you also have a Pentium IV and it works with 2GB RAM, I'll up mine.  Lots of people on the Zumo Forum are also having problems.

I'm calling BS on this. I'm running a Dell Inspiron Intel Core Duo T8300 @ 2.4 GHz with 3.49 GB of RAM and this program s**ks. You can no longer click on a route and move it to add way points. It takes forever to zoom in & out regardless of map detail. Thank you for posting the link to the old version.

OK.  That's awesome.   

Still doesn't change the fact the program works fine for me.........the way I use it.  It is noteworthy that I do not use the program to level of which you write.  I usually find two points, and let it plan the route for me.  Anything more complicated...........and I may as well be at work.

ok, what other services running on your system, do you have malware, is there something running in the background that is eating up resources?

there are so many variables, unless you had the same HP laptop I am using - its apples to carrots...   

mine runs great, I can add move delete waypoints, recalc the route all if it and there is no delay.

So I'll stay away from this one for awhile, unless I get that new OctaCore 5 Ghz with 8 GB of ram laptop I saw in the back of Popular Mechanics. Maybe I'll build the homebuilt hovercraft instead.

Being the geek I am, I go to something called the Gartner IT Summit most years - two years ago the CEO of Intel was the keynote.  He said they had in development an 80 core that will do real time language translation.  Would be out in the year '15 or so. 

Going this year (Orlando baby!) wondering what has changed in two years.

I don't know what "malware" is so I don't know if I have it or not. To compare apples to apples, I was using the previous version of Mapsource on this laptop. Now I am using the latest version, on this laptop. Nothing else has changed. The software functionality has drastically changed however. Unfortunately, there were features in the older version that seem to be no longer available. It doesn't appear to be a hardware issue as much as it is software related.

Henry, I am glad to see that the program is simple enough for even you understand how to get from point "A" to point "B". However, there are some of us that are a little more sophisticated and would like to be able to use the software to it's full potential. I am sorry that I write in such a manner that is difficult for you to understand, but that is based solely on my education level and has no correlation to the software's functionality.
