Some additions and fixes. We have noticed a jumpy nature to the map screen related to heading orientation and refresh since the last update. It looks like this should clear it up.

Greg, interesting comments. Last month I ended up sending my GPSMAP 841 back into Garmin for replacement under warranty. Sometime it seems after the last update, my unit started having some serious issues with it's map screen jittering terribly. To the point of a couple of times I had serious map shift, usually after a 180 degree turn. When I turned on my NMEA 2000 system, throwing the autopilots brains and compass into the mix, the screen would straighten right out. Turn it off, and get a msg lost heading sensor, and back to jittering. The replacement unit did not have that issue, and Garmin told me that it was likely the units internal compass that failed (on the unit I sent in.) However, I noticed that occasionally the unit they sent me still ever so slightly jittered a bit. I'll get the new update in it and it'll be interesting to see if that minor jitter goes away. Colby
