looks like i just got lucky then but i definitely managed to add new gear.
try removing the default setting from your old gear before adding the new one...i think thats what i did but i have no idea if it affected the outcome in any way.
whoever said complaining doesnt accomplish anything? :)
Not sure that anybody's ever said that. it's quite unlikely that complaining in this forum had much to do with it either. This is a peer-to-peer forum rarely blessed with the presence of Garmin folk.
