    Gpsmap 60c Locks Up

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I have a new Garmin GPSMAP 60c with maps loaded.. Sometimes, as I approach a cache, my map locks up and does not show movement. My compass section still records distance from cache and direction. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution? I've tried recalculating on the map section but this does not seem to work. any thoughts would be appreciated...

    Same problem here...Using version 4.00.........

    Cool cool...I ended up getting the cobra micro talk with the 12 mile range(Much less expected)...I am digging the weather radio on them..That could come in handy...Shoot I only paid $4 because I had 2 gift cards, so I think I got a pretty good deal....Thanks much for all of your help folks!!

    I.ve been selling these radios for about 7 years now. You do need a license if you are using the GMRS freqs. That being said, I personally know of not one single person who has ever bought that license, and I know of not one single person who has ever had any run-ins with the FCC. There just isn't any "radio police" running around your neighborhoods.

    I havent used my CB radio in awhile, but I remember people having over 5 watts of power and nothing happing to them. I'm just going to buy the radios and if the FCC trys to get me I will tell them I had no idea....Its not like I will be using 20 watts of power or anything...Thanks much all for responding!

    Quick question...A friend and I are thinking about getting some better 2-way radios..We really don't need the rino's...I have pretty much been looking at cobra models with a 12mile range...My question is this, If I was to get the 12mile range one, do I need to get a license in order to use it? I'm not really to sure if I do or not. I always thought that the more wattage you use the FCC doesnt like..We live only about 6miles away,but it is much cheaper then the phone(and more fun!) If anyone can help me on that it would be awesome...

    Thanks much!

    Looks cool, but I think my old talkabout is just fine, I cant even find anyone on there anyway, well besides kids and spanish speaking people..It is funny to listen to kids play around playing hide and seek...Ah the good old days of using CB on Ch14 playing in the dark trying to find a friend with only sound and a limit on where you could go...anyone else do that?? I mean i'm not old, so its not the old days..I was always the dork who would stand outside with my Radio shack TRC-226 CB trying to talk to truckers and getting "there is a rubber duck out there, anyone hear that?".....HEHE sorry...my life story of being a nerd...

    Sure appreciate the help Sputnik and Wornout, Everything seems to be in order, My accuracy is usually around 60-75 which seems a bit to much, I do have one last question, when I do a find, goto cache follow road and get close to the cache when I recalculate to go off-road my map screen locks up and will not move, it leaves me on the road. The compass seems to work fine and gets me to the cache, The only way I can get the map to track my movements is to turn off gpsr and the do find, goto, off-road. Does this sound like I got a problem? Thanks again for all the helpful info.

    same thing happend the other day...Do I need to do a reset??? I'm getting waas..never notice the map locking up before.............

    This is a call for help, I would really like to go out with an experienced cacher and learn how to find these buggers better...I want to be able to cache on my own(with friends), and actually be able to find the cache....So if anyone has any free time during the weekends, please let me know! I just want to be a tag-a-long!!!!!! thanks all!!!
