    Seeing No D's? (new 60cx)

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    My StreetPilot c550 has a SiRFstar III receiver. According to Garmin, it can't show any "D" symbols, since SiRF uses the data differently, compared to Garmin, hence there's no knowledge about when to display the "D".

     

    What says SiRF is different in the 60CSX?

     

    I have seen a couple of requests for those who claim that they are seeing "d"s to post a screenshot indicating such, and not one such post yet. I'm not trying to stir up a hornets nest, but I want to see the screenshot.

    60csx Waas Question

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted · Edited by indygpser

    I just received my new Garmin 60csx. I live in the Indianapolis, Indiana area and the WAAS satellite that can be tracked in this area is #35. I noticed that when I enabled WAAS and go to the satellite page, #35 blinks off and on and the signal bar is hollow. I also don't see "d" in any of the signal bars. Should this be happening? Am I in WAAS mode?

     

    I also own a Nuvi 350 and I get the same condition....blinking #35 and no "d" in any of the signal bars. Thanks.

    Garmin Doesn't Have Too Much To Worry About From Magellan...

    We sold probably 10:1 Garmins over Magellans that day (of course we do every day...).

    Just because McDonald's sells more dinners than Ruth's Chris doesn't mean they are better dinners.

     

    Your statement above is comparing apples to oranges. McDonalds is fast food and Ruth's Chris is a high end steak restaurant. On the other hand, both Garmin and Magellan are GPSr manufactures; therefore, an apples to apples comparison.
