Hmmmm. That's the opposite of my results. Do what works or you're without the GPS for caching. I'm going to report the problem to Garmin on Monday. 1-800-800-1020 The more people that do the better.
The best solution is as jmonti did, to downgrade the firmware.
jmonti told me "I used this page off the wiki to get the backlevel firmware:
http://garmingpsmap.wikispaces.com/Versions
I just downloaded the 4.4 level and then opened it with the webupdater.
(had to do an "open with"). I'm now running 4.4 with no problems."
Doing this resets all settings back to factory defaults. Be prepared to set things back your way.
Yea!!! Thank you for the tips, I confirm it solves the bug. I went back from 4.50 to 4.40 and was not able to reproduce this bug. Garmin should communicate more about this issue.
