What info, you can change the maps, the waypoints etc using Mapsource. The big problem is the gps has very limited memory. I know I have one ## ##

Have a look here. This is the latest firmware for your device. http://www8.garmin.com/support/collecti ... 0-00126-00
Unit Software

* GPS III, Ver. 2.10, as of January 31, 2000, Download

Compatible with versions: 2.00-2.09
Bit old, but give it a try.

As far as I know, you cant load a different unit's software on yours. Give it a try, I think it first check compatibility, and if all is ok, it continues.

Don't hold me to this, phone an expert.

Here is the software for pilot III
