[Garmin 62s - brief random thoughts]

OFF TOPIC

I measured my eTrex30. 90 mA on compass screen with a satellite lock.

With GLONASS OFF (just GPS) current draw decreases to 70-75 mA (without backlight, of course).

I used to, but recently they are deaf...

Could you leave here confirmation that now i.e. this week this address works as should?

Is this email address valid?

I have not received answer since a week.

Send information about crashes to eTrexBeta@garmin.com

Attach two files: Garmin.xml and GarminDevice.xml stored in the Garmin subdirectory of the device.

What type do you have: eTrex 20 or eTrex 30?

[eTrex 30 firmware update duration]

Truthly saying I have never experienced problems with crashes in eTrex 30.

Try to calculate shorter routes (max. 30 km long) and use less-detailed maps.

 

The only thing correlated with current FW 2.90 are bugs listed here:

Nevertheless they should be mostly the same for eTrex 20 and eTrex 30.
