  1. Just curious, Have you installed 2.30 and 2.60? What you are describing is how mine worked before those two updates on 01/22 I'm sorry to say that both updates were installed. - Mainewanderer
  2. Returning the Colorado 400t Sad to say, but, after much thought, I am returning my Colorado 400t. Besides the numerous software issues that have appeared here and on other forums, there are some issues that are likely to be hardware related that updates are not likely to solve in the near future. 1) The screen is darker than the 60 CSx and has a much narrower viewing angle. Even in bright sunlight, the backlight needs to be on and the Colorado screen was still harder to see than the 60 CSx screen with its backlight off. 2) Battery life is terrible. With 2300 mAh batteries, I could get, maybe, two hours of use. I'm sure that's mostly because the backlight has to be on almost all the time. 3) Random shutdowns and restarts, which could be software related, make the Colorado unreliable in the field. Since I have to bring my 60 CSx as a backup, I don't really need to carry the Colorado as well. The most frustrating part of all this is that I have had six Garmin GPS units before the Colorado and each one has performed flawlessly over the years. My hope is that, over time, Garmin will correct the hardware and software issues that currently exist with the Colorado so that I can purchase another one. I look forward to that day because the Colorado has great potential. It's just not there yet.
