Why do you ask?
I've just updated mine and seems to be working.
You'll never know if you don't try it.

I resisted the temptation. Is it interesting?

Easier to send courses made up on the fly via email, one clic and it's uploaded to other Half's unit. Will see how good it is at routing off road , as locked gates are a problem.

Did not like this , tried a coypf times to upload GPS track. Worked at 3rd attempt, might be because of tracks or routes through fields .

Where are you generating the courses before they are transferred?

Transfer by email requires that both devices have access to an email server, and that requires that they both are connected to a data network. Transfer using a wired connection or local wireless connection doesn't.

Fair to assume that this only runs on Windows?
