• Let active route color be customized, sometimes hardly distinguishable from other roads
This feature was added in the latest firmware 3.10 update. Works great!

I went ahead and upgrade the firmware to 3.10 as soon as I received
my 60CS, so I'm sure that is new firmware bug or my unit having some
problem.
The unit would lock up every time I do a Reset in "Altimeter" Page,
I have to either remove the battery or press the power button
several times to shut it off, but I can Reset the unit without any
problem in "Trip Computer" Page (that would also reset the Altimeter
data). Does anyone experience it?

I mailed my 60C on Tuesday, the 24th of February and had 'it' back on the 3rd of April. Just 8 days total.
They sent me a new unit.
Wow, are you sending us a message from the future??

I turned my Vista on today and the left side (about 1/3 of width) from top to bottom is not getting drawn. Anyone else have this problem? The Vista is about 2 years old. I wonder if Garmin can fix this and for how much? At least I have my 60CS also now!
Thanks,

I just fired off a message to tech support basically telling them the same thing.
Couldn't hurt for you to contact them too. I think their "happens to a small number of units" line is wishfull thinking!
(although thinking about it, maybe it's related to what elevation you're at. I'm at 2400 ft, what about you?)

I haven't installed any maps yet. Just the basemap it comes with.
I was playing with it some more and noticed it only does it if you hit left or right before it draws the elevation profile. It takes a small moment before it displays it and if you hit left or right before then.. poof!
I suspect that's why they say if you don't have a track yet it happens.. because it never displays the profile. But even if you have a track and are able to hit the arrows before it draws the profile, you can kill it.

I got my 60CS today and sure enough, it does the same thing. Garmin says it doesn't do it after you've saved a track? I walked around the neighborhood and saved the track. It still does it. It will power off if I hit left or right arrow the first time going into the Altimiter page after being on another page. Doesn't do it hitting up or down. And once you've hit up or down, you can hit left and right all you want and no power down.

Be sure to email Garmin with this info. The more respnse they get on this issue the better!

Is 3.01beta available for the CS?
-
But still no manual posted for the 60CS yet (not that it's probably much different from the 60C...)
I ordered from GPSdiscount last week. Wonder if they'll get enough to send me one...
