  1. Take a look here: Monterra Wiki Common Issues I do not believe all of those "bugs" have been validated with Monterra v2.90_1.20.00. Which is the latest update since many of them are no longer present on my Monterra.
  2. You are of course correct in that they should be able to do this. But, Garmin has never provided a device that can share data wirelessly between dissimilar devices. Whether they use ANT or Bluetooth makes no difference the Monterra has all of the radios but if they don't provide the code doesn't much matter.
  3. I'm not so hopeful as I asked for Inter-model data sharing over six months ago and since we haven't seen that capability on any Garmin device, I rather doubt it's doable. I hope I'm wrong.
  4. There is a GOA 1.19 update which you might want to install. They are also working on another but I have no idea when it will be released.
  5. Mine is. There'll be an update coming soon focused on a few more outstanding issues.
  6. You all might want to install the new 1.18 update...
  7. Since there is no Garmin Forum Thread for the Monterra, you won't get much in the way of Garmin eyes on your query. I'd suggest sending a complaint email to Product Support.
  8. Nope. I don't think my contact likes me asking any more since they have missed both of the Jan and Feb targets.
  9. To my knowledge there is no Monterra Dev Group email id.
  10. We probably have different sources for our info.
  11. I believe that there is an update is in the works with the objective of a release this month.
  12. No new updates. And, I wouldn't count on Custom Symbols being added any time soon--just my guess.
  13. The last I heard was that there MIGHT be an update in January (2014).
  14. So, the question was, when using the Compass, does the location cursor on the map point in the proper direction? If that was it, on my unit, no. This is because it is taking it's heading from the Compass -- which we know is screwed up.
  15. My GPS Heading has always been correct if that is what you are asking. No Compass in use.
  16. Interesting...I had not tried Nice Compass. It does align properly. I have tried three other Android Compasses and they all now are aligned with the Garmin Compass - incorrectly.
  17. I'm leaning toward the same conclusion. I noticed that when the Compass App is running and the unit goes to Sleep Mode, when the unit is turned back ON the Compass is initially set at 15deg from the correct heading. But, this is only for a moment then it jumps to the offset and might drift back just a little. It does eventually hold it's offset condition. So, with the Monterra laying flat and pointing toward Mag North turn on the Compass App. Mine starts at 345º and then drifts to 315º. If I place the unit in Sleep Mode for a few seconds and then turn it back on it shows 345º for a second and then jumps to the offset with a small amount of drift back before stabilizing again at 315º. If I place the unit so it is aligned to 90º magnetic, the same scenario takes place when the unit goes to Sleep and is wakened. It starts at 75º and jumps to 45º maybe a little more then drifts back to 45º.
  18. After installing the 1.16 update and preforming a Factory Reset (dadgum), the Compass WAS holding steady and only about 5deg's off actual Magnetic. I have now preformed three Compass Calibrations and the Compass App is now 30deg's off Magnetic. This is with the Display Backlight turned Off. What I find really interesting is that other Compass Apps are now off in the opposite direction. Whereas they were aligned to Magnetic before the update. Rather bazaar to say the least.
  19. I did a Factory Reset to my Monterra which is very time consuming to recover from since everything gets scrubbed from the unit (remover your SD Card). The Compass is now passable and no appreciable drift.
  20. Are you aware that you can do #3 & #4 using the Notifications swipe-down from any screen.
  21. I haven't checked all of your geocaching bugs list, have you? This was suppose to be focused on those bugs and the CNEU Search issues.
  22. Yeah, and not only didn't this update FIX the Compass, it now seems to have screwed up the third-party Android Compass Apps the same way.
  23. See post above... Media Tech MT3333. Not the same as the eTrex.
