New firmware of Garmin devices often contains some new features instead of missing old bugs. Since the translation doesn’t keep pace with the features I am completing the german translation for GPSMap 62/78 just for fun. My latest translated file can be found here.

While doing so I found two minor issues in the Garmin GPSMap 78. Since two posts weren’t published by the moderators in the regarding forum so far I post them here.

The Photo Viewer has a bug at sorting images.
If you call the menu like this:
Photo Viewer -> [Menu] -> Sort Photos -> Near a Location -> A Map Point
you can point on the map, but you cannot select any point to use it but only press “Go” and start routing or exit by pressing [Quit].

The other issue is more a curiosity and most likely will never be fixed by Garmin. At GARMIN/Garmin/Text/ .gtt files are stored which contain the translations for the different interface languages. Today I discovered this:
When the strings are sorted alphabetically like this

<str>
    <tag>TXT_Acquiring_Code_MSG_STR_M</tag>
    <txt>Mit chirpTM verbunden
<str>
    <tag>TXT_Acquiring_Satellites_STR_L</tag>
    <txt>Suche Satelliten</txt>
</str>

“Acquiring Satellites” doesn’t get translated.
Reversing the order of the strings the translation works fine:

<str>
    <tag>TXT_Acquiring_Satellites_STR_L</tag>
    <txt>Suche Satelliten</txt>
</str>
<str>
    <tag>TXT_Acquiring_Code_MSG_STR_M</tag>
    <txt>Mit chirpTM verbunden
<str>
