Clearly a sign that they have no intention of
providing any "usefull" updates to the Venture/Mariner
in the future, such as increased waypoint/tracklog capacity.

Version 2.60 has been out since at least Jan 12th,
and version 2.50 since at least 2003/07/31, so if
all they can come up with by now is to fix some
language-related issues, they aren't working on
anything else(or the 'sales droids' won't let them),
which is too bad, given that it's known that it's
technically possible :-(
