    Garmin Gpsmap 60cs

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    The 60cs locked-up on me twice yesterday.  Both times it was recalculating an auto-route when I decided to not follow the route set out by the unit.

     

    Had to shut down and bring back up.  Funny screen fading, etc.  A week or so ago, the display screen went crazy, like the old TVs when the horizontal hold let go.  Had to shut it off that time, too. 

     

    Have not lost any of the data in the unit when it happens, but it sure does make me nervous.  Has anyone else had this sort of experience?  Any thoughts about it?  Thanks.

    I too have found that my 60cs will lock up while using the City Select V6 software when the map is displayed and I am traveling over 50mph. I returned the unit to Garmin and they reloaded the operating software. When I got it back the problem has not been fixed.

     

    I have "repaired" the CS-V6 software in my PC by selecting that function in the installation process. Then I reloaded a map into the 60cs via the USB cable. Still locks up. This unit is truly feature packed. Amazing what technology can do.

     

    Garmin is sending me a brand new unit and CS-V6 North America disc. Has this problem been discussed in the forum and/or does any one have a fix for it?

    :ph34r: Thanky you GARMIN for the latest software update 3.7. I had been having problems here in Hawaii with the 60CS locking up anytime I drove on an interstate with the map displayed. Garmin assisted with a loaner 60cs which diplayed the same problem. Note that both units worked perfectly in Colorado. I installed the 3.7 update and this has SOLVED all of my lock up problems here on Oahu. MAHALO

     

    PS: Using the 60CS for downhill skiing is a blast. Recording top speed is great fun. I Broke 50mph on one run and my brother cracked 60mph.

    My 60CS is dying! OK here's the deal. During as mega caching spree the other day (144 find!) all of a sudden my 60CS's buttons wouldn't work. So I reboot, take the batteries out, beat it a bit. After about an hour it starts working again! Woohoo!

     

    So I'm caching on Tuesday, near the end of the day it's doing it again, but I get it reworking.

     

    So today, same thing. I mean what's making these buttons work intermittently? I don't have time to have a GPS out of service, there's caches to find!

     

    Anyone got any ideas, beside reloading the firware, tried that already.

    I have had the same thing start to happen with my 60CS in the last week or so. The only button that works is the power. The unit is not locked up because it is still tracking and showing pop-ups for turns but I cant get it to respond with the keys (other then powering it down). I have had to shut it off and press all the keys really hards a few times then power back up and keep doing this untill they start to work again. I am going to call Garmin in the morning and see what can be done.

    The big problem I have is I use it for work and even being without it for a day will be a HUGE pain. I have a GPS V as a back up, but I am really spoiled now and do not want to go back to the "old" gps. I have also thought about getting a Quest for work but I still dont know if it will be worth it.

    I too have had my 60cs lock up while using the cityselect V6 Oahu maps. Garmin was so kind to send me a replacement unit which also displayed the same problems here on Oahu. I took both units to Colorado for a 10 day vacation and both worked perfectly. This leads me to believe that the problem lies with the map software for my area only.

     

    I updated my 60cs to version 3.61 last night and I hope this solves the problem. I will keep you posted. CL
