An FYI... Just updated to 4.60 from Beta version 4.52, unit appeared to do the update (validate Software and Load) then unit displayed a message (which was something like) 'New software has been found with an older version number than that installed. Install? Y/N', so I installed. After the update completed unit infrmation showed 'Beta Software 4.52'. So, I tried it again and this time said 'No' to the new software that it had found - this time the unit displays 'Software Version 4.60'. We shall see what happens!

Been running 4.52(beta) for a couple of weeks now and so far it hasn't crashed on me.

Don't give up, it is just firmware and can be changed. I have had my 62st for 10 months now and up until the 'upgrade' to 4.50 operation has been solid and I would still recommend this unit to anyone.

Just a quick update, I thought the problem had gone away as the unit ran for several days trouble free, but went out again today and in the 'real world' the GPS switched off again. I also noticed that my screen kept dissappearing but pushing any key brought it back - wonder if this is some new economy mode rather than just switching the backlight off. I'll try Raddad637's suggestion but at the end of the day, we shouldn't be having to work around this - Garmin should be looking at this. I for one will be sending an email to support. Edit: I had a look at the suggestion and just thought I should add that my display Data Fields was set to '0' when this problem shows itself. Edit 2 - Seems Garmin may have done a small update, but my software revision still shows 4.50 - however my battery type did change back to default Alkaline.

Updated my 62st to 4.50 and my unit now shuts down seemingly randomly. Seen it while on the Map display and switching to/from the Trip Odometer page. I have done a complete reset and notice that the battery type was changed back to Alkaline and so just set the correct type and see how we get on.
