The guitar has left the Heathrow Transit Hub, forwarded to... "United States." That narrows it down quite a bit. With the first Emerald, once it got to that point, it was a day and a half before it showed up in south Texas. With the second Emerald, it was five days for it to show up in the Phoenix area after that update.
So, the wait continues, but there is progress. In spite of Evan's prophecy.
I understand some recent Emerald receivers have had updates in the USA portion; that would be fun.
On the bright side, I had a nice session with the X20 and the S1 this morning. It makes the wait pretty darn easy.
