I just got my 3790T this morning and so far I'm generally impressed. The display is really a pleasure. I have a question. Is there a way to see the individual satellite strength (showing which sats are being picked up, and where in reference to the horizon)? So far I haven't been able to find that - but surely the unit isn't so "dumbed down" that the owner can't access that info. Thank you.

I've never seen a Garmin firmware version where the last digit is other than a zero (x.x0) except for betas on hand-held units. Maybe the v2.22 reported is a beta firmware release that they are using on units rather than waiting for the non-beta build. I doubt WebUpdater will pick up a beta firmware release as these are usually provided in direct download form from Garmin stating it's a beta with all required warnings.

I suspect that what is happening is that you can't just tap the screen in some remote area and save it. You can do this on my 780, for example, as the Save button appears on the map screen when you scroll the map. Tapping the screen moves the arrow to that location and tapping Save lets you save the co-ordinates of the arrow. This doesn't seem to be available on the 3790. The remote, off road location has to have a name, like the lake in my earlier example or a river etc.

I have a question - why would you want to save a location of some place you couldn't drive or walk to and that isn't named in the maps? If your out hiking and find a spot you want to save so you can come back to it you can do this via Tools - Where Am I - Save. Is pre-saving co-ordinates in remote locations useful for geocacheing? If so wouldn't you use Where To - Co-ordinates as you'd already have the locations of the cache?

Or am I totaling confused, which wouldn't be the first time.

@sergzak - lucvl's 3790 is a European version, I believe, so maybe they have firmware versions that are numbered differently than ours but I agree, I've never seen any that didn't end in a 0 either. Maybe a typing error.
