Version 6.20 for Drivesmart 61 is out - reboot problem fixed?

Garmin released version 6.20 for the Drivesmart 61 on 30 August 2019.
Hopefully it fixes the reboot problem I have.

- Improved the reliability of phone calls made using the Smartphone Link app.
- Fixed an issue that caused the device to shut down with certain third-party maps.

I assume that the Parkopedia and Foresquare maps are the third-party maps they are referring to?

    Since they are pre-loaded on the device, I would not make that assumption. I'd think this means maps that a user installs themselves from another source, such as OpenStreetMap, GPSFileDepot, etc.

    Boyd, you are correct. It seems Parkopedia and Foresquare are not the 3rd party maps Garmin is referring to. I used my Drivesmart 61 for a few days this weekend without having it reboot on me, but today it rebooted. My reboot problem is still there.

    Driveassist 51 also got an update with the same changelog.

    My drivesmart 61 rebooted a bunch of times on my xcountry trip this past 5 weeks. Maybe this new issue will fix that. I do not have third party maps.
