I was having the same trouble lately, and soft reset was not working. Reloading unit with caches from GSAK did nothing. I updated the firmware, went caching, and at some point in my caching today, I tried to calibrate. Still no luck. Came home today, reloaded the same firmware, disconnected from the computer, went outside right away (before doing anything else with unit), and that worked. I was finally able to calibrate.

I realize this thread is 10 months old, but I found it when I was trying to sort out why my Windows 7 laptop wouldn't "see" my Garmin 62S. I fiddled around and did almost everything listed above (including registry edits to remove Garmin entries), and in the end, it was a simple drive letter assignment conflict. I went into My Computer > Manage > Storage > Change Drive Letter and everything is working fine.

This past weekend, there was a Wherigo that went live on the Wherigo.com site, but it preceded by a full day the actual publishing of the Wherigo on GC.com. Since the publishing of Wherigo's on GC.com is dependent on the volunteer reviewer, is there a way to sign up for notifications that come direct from Wherigo.com when the cartridge goes live there? I've scoured Wherigo.com but all I see is the following mention of setting up notifications, but nowhere to actually set up those direct Wherigo.com notifications. "Notifications Watch cartridge listings and receive emails every time someone writes a log entry, including when a contributor uploads a new version of the cartridge. Set up notifications for when cartridges publish--including for play-anywhere cartridges--or someone logs cartridges in an area. Be the first to know!"
