+2Wheel'in Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Downloaded and installed the Ver 4.05 Beta upgrade last night, and checked it out on some cache runs today. On two separate ocassions the 60CS failed to update (while AutoRouting) after making an announced turn along the built route. The position cursor showed it was "off course" yet the unit did not recalculate the route, and the purple highlighted course road marking just disappeared from the map. The 60CS is AutoRouting with MetroGuide Ver 4.02. Has anyone else experienced similar behavior with MetroGuide Ver 4.02, or with the newer verisons, or City Select? Regards, Bill Quote
+hardwire Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 I've been having good luck with beta 4.04 .... I just loaded beta 4.05 and should be making trips this weekend.... so I'll check... Quote
+Team BlackZ Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 I upgraded to 4.05 beta and had a problem today with my 60CS. As the unit was recalculating a route it just shut down. Completly turned itself off. First time that has ever happened. Has this happened to anybody else? Quote

Completly turned itself off. First time that has ever happened. Has this happened to anybody else? I haven't had a complete shutdown with the 4.05 Beta, but have experienced that with other/previous Beta versions. I did have 5 or 6 more instances where the 60CS failed to update after making an AutoRoute turn. I filed a "Beta Report" with Garmin, but haven't heard anything from them...in the meantime I removed the new firmware and went back to the rock solid version 4.0. Regards, Bill Quote
+Team BlackZ Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Again today. When autorouting, my 60CS completely shut down. It did it 3 times in a row. I know it's a beta release, but it's not reliable, at least not in my 60CS. I hope I don't have another problem. Back to 4.00. Nobody else is having this problem?? Quote
+Team BlackZ Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 dadgum, what happened. I reloaded 4.00 and lost everything in my GPS. All my setting, waypoints, caches, everything. Never had this happen when doing a software upgrade/downgrade. Any ideas? Quote

Never had this happen when doing a software upgrade/downgrade. Any ideas? Ouch...that hurts, unfortunately that's the norm for reinstalling a previous version of the firmware...at least that's always happened when I've done it. It got to the point where I would download a screen shot of all my screens (just so I could reselect the same options)...xImage works great for that. Hopefully you had a backup of your waypoints.

+Team BlackZ Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 No, I did not have a backup. Had no idea it would erase everything. Now it won't accept waypoints downloaded using GSAK or mapsource. It is connecting to my computer via USB, but I can't download waypoints to it. I'm not sure what I did. Quote

Okay, got the waypoint problem fixed. Whew, thought I did the thing in. Thought I had a good excuse to get a new CSX Edited February 3, 2006 by Team BlackZ Quote
