Please tell us how your upgrade to SP3 goes. I wasn't sure I wanted to go ahead and do that because SP3 may "break" some installed applications. I've had this happen on other systems but, if SP3 works and plays well with the installed apps, I'll definitely make the transition.

You're definitely right that the ADV3500PC quickly overheats when the fan opening is blocked. This makes it hard to find a suitable case to protect the unit while using it.

I used the ADV3500PC to navigate from Houston to College Station last evening and it did a good job. However, I've read somewhere that the maps may not be upgradeable. I may try to install Garmin PC if this proves to be correct. The program runs around $60.
