[Waas 36?]

Some users are reporting seeing 33; I have not seen it in Seattle. I have not seen 35 recently. I see 36 grab the signal and then shut off - the "do not use" message.

 

Here in MA I have not seen 33 or 35 for 3 days now

[Garmin 60csx Observations]

Firmware 2.5 is a problem or not ?

Batteries, which type is a problem which not ?

what should be avoided ?

 

new firmware is not a problem, works fine for me

 

Batteries - lithiums have caused issues due to voltage. use alkaline and NiMH for now untill Garmin updates the firmware to fix the lithium problem

[Master Reset On 60c(s)x]

As an update, I tried this myself and the master reset will not erase the maps on the transflash card and it will also not reset the information you put into the welcome screen. It will re-initialize everything else though...

 

any specific reason why you had to reset?

 

Just curious to see what would happen... I like to tinker

[Waas 35]

Day #3 of no WAAS for me here in Massachusetts although on the bright side I'm still getting 11 - 15 ft accuracy on the 60CSx

[What Is The Best Gps For Geocaching Only (i.e. No Mapping Or Autorouting Needed)]

Since mapping is not a big deal for you, memory requirements wouldn't be high. I would recommend the older Garmin 60CS or VistaC as the prices are coming down since the new X units are out. It has everything you are looking for and you could load the topo maps which would be beneficial on long trips in the woods to find a cache.

 

One more thing, since the electronic compass is important to you these units typically have mapping capabilities so consider it an added bonus

2.5 firmware has been fine for me as well, although for 2 days in a row now I have not seen WAAS 33 or 35

[Waas 35]

Well, make that 2 days in a row that I have not had WAAS... neither 33 or 35

[Waas 35]

I normally lock onto #35 every day, but today was the first day I haven't seen it. I'm in Massachusetts.

[60c Auto Mount = Glass Or Dash]

I super glued my Garmin auto-mount right to the dash I tried the adhesives mounts and they kept coming unglued. I don't have room on my dash for a beanbag mount and I never tried the RAM suction mount.

 

All I can say is this mount is never coming off the dash...

Hey Timpat, I finally got sat 33 today! Here's a shot from inside my house in MA, sorry it's blurry

 

[Master Reset On 60c(s)x]

I was wondering if anyone has done a master reset on their 60 C(S)x yet? I was curious to know if it wiped the maps off the transflash card.

 

I suppose I could try this myself, but I'm being lazy

[City Select V8?]

Here's one VistaC owner hoping it's true!

Hope you're taking good care of my old VistaC

[Internal & Microsd Memory]

As of now... no, you cannot find that out from the gps unit itself. A lot of users have been complaining to Garmin about that and hopefully they will address it in the next firmware update.

 

You will need to use mapsource and hook up the gps to the computer to see how much map memory you have available...

[Garmin 60 Csx "improvements"?]

I was one of the first to send 'improvement suggestions' to Garmin about the 60C(S)x and have done so 3 times. Hope you all keep emailing as well!

[Waas 36?]

Got a solid lock on Garmin 33 (EGNOS AOR-E) again today in Albany, NY at about 3:15pm eastern.

hmmm... I'm still on a mission to get 33. I'm not that far from Albany, only 2 hrs maybe I should drive out...

[Waas 36?]

I'm in MA and have only seen 35 as of yet...I'm still hoping my 60CSx will pick up 33.

[Kudos To Garmin!]

Silly me, I would have never thought to have checked the unit serial #

[Gps Power Source]

I always avoid the quick chargers as they beat the crap out of rechargeables. I always buy the overnight chargers and always have ample battery supply.

[Firmware Update 2.50 For Garmin 60csx]

It can't hurt to write to them. It definitely can't hurt to do it multiple times.

I agree, keep on emailing!!!

[Garmin Gps 60csx]

so did sketchysmurf ever get the gps??

[Advice On Garmin Foretrex]

I did find the Foretrex 101 on the adventurestation.com website for $110.95 which you can get to through backpacker.com

 

Are they reputable?

[Advice On Garmin Foretrex]

The Foretrex 101 seems hard to come by. gpsdiscount only has the 201 listed. Other sites I checked only have the forerunner models or the 201... anyone??

[60csx And 1gb?]

I haven't seen any in stores as of yet...only 512MB. Maybe some online dealers?

[60csx And 1gb?]

Sorry that is the appendix page number 74 in the manual.

I can't find that... am I blind

 

nevermind... limited by formatted capacity. i thought you meant it specifically said 1GB
