Yeah, As I was telling Dan H, I had a big learning curve before I could
use it.  There is a section in the software that will let you select
low, medium and high res terrain and color.  I didn't know about the
missing airports.  I haven't came across that issue yet.

That's funny, the 10 page "manual" never mentioned that high res 
downloadable database (you'd have thought it would have come on the CD),
and 
the tech support guy that I beat up on the phone didn't mention it
either, 
he just apologized for the low resolution, with an explanation that it
was 
ported from the PDA!  And I think I read every word in the FAQ.  I guess
you 
can have the greatest software in the world, but if your instructions
won't 
tell the poor guy on the other end how to use it, it's not the greatest 
software in the world.  The tech guy did mention that their database was

missing airports, apparently due to a problem with their data
"harvester". 
He'd been unaware of that until I told him about it, and further 
investigation proved it to be true.  That alone turned me off, not to 
mention the resolution and cost of the GPS.  The fact that I had to
create 
my airport as a waypoint didn't do much for my confidence in the
software. 
It's good to know that I wasn't completely wrong though, and the $99
price 
for the software was a bargain, now that I know the resolution isn't so 
crappy.
