Well, as a "developper" I would recommend using 6.13.6. 6.13.6 behaves more
or less like the GPS. Maps get drawn pixel by pixel identical to the GPS.
6.14.1 and bigger however cache everything (big problem on map update
because you see cached files if same FID/PID) and work completely different
when displaying the maps.

If you wan't to know whether a map works on the gps allways use 6.13.6.
6.13.7 is useful to debug POI for Oregon/Colorado. Most POIs that show white
spot in 6.13.7 on Visa x64 / 7 x64 (xp x86 is fine) are likely not to
display on Oregon/Colorado units.

On top 6.14.1 and bigger distort any map. I could not live with that
distortion (basecamp does so too).

The map looks strange in that area because of the plan.at data imports. But
still we should be able to cope with it.
