5.50 was the first upgrade to finally get rid of the Garmin " sticky " problem ( poor performance at slow speeds...unresponsive compass and distance traveled )....prior versions made you want to throw the unit in a lake. There were reports of bugs in firmware after 5.50 and since our unit was working perfectly there was no need to go further.
On the 62S ver 3.90 was the first to get rid of the " sticky ". I didn't like subsequent versions on this unit either.....my wife just got a new one and it had accuracy issues getting to GZ.....I put 3.90 on it and now its fine.
Thanks for the explanation
Alright, tonight I attempted to improve my 450t's performance and decided to download 6.40 to my device. Now that it's loaded it takes FOREVER for it to boot up. When connected to my laptop (via USB)it gets stuck on the initial splash screen. The "loading photos" takes about 20 minutes to go through, then the "saving all waypoints, routes....in GPX format" takes another 20 minutes. After 40+ minutes the device finally connects to the laptop and is recognized. When on batteries, the device gets stuck on the "loading photos" and never boots. I'm mad as hell that I had a device that worked fine and in my attempt to update it I rendered it useless. Any help would be appreciated.
