  1. I have now used the new firmware for a few weeks and it is now actually useable, the compass is certainly not fixed because it still points all over the place, for example one moment it indicates 15ft West and after moving over a couple of feet it will point in another direction (i.e. South) however the GPS now works when moving very slowly or stationary, so at least that cab be used now. It is very disappointing that a large GPSr company releases an unusable product and even after many months still fails to resolve software issues and fully relies on it's customers to complain and use beta software that is not even available on it's own website.
  2. Thanks to both 'jholly' & 'Atlas Cached', I have just downloaded and installed the beta version (2.87). I will see how that goes, the compass issue is really annoying especially seeing as I had bought this specifically because my Samsung Galaxy S2 has a very poor GPS & compass and it was driving me mad trying to find Geocaches.
  3. Sticky is NOT fixed, I bought an eTrex30 a couple of weeks ago (not realising that there was a design flaw/fault) and updated it as soon as I got to Ver2.80 (which is still the latest version) and the compass has never worked properly even right after a calibration. After reading the numerous forums about the 'sticky' issue I now realise why I have been having problems with the unit not updating it's distance or compass direction to a waypoint - the unit is flawed. I am extremely disappointed because I bought the 30 over the 20 specifically because it had an electronic compass.
