+G & E Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Has anybody installed the beta firmware for the MAPGPS60C? Any problems? Any advantages? Okay, since nobody answered my post, I will answer it myself. I downloaded the software and my unit works pretty much like it did before. If there are improvements, I haven't noticed them yet. If something doesn't work right, I haven't come across that either. Quote Link to comment
+jotne Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Same for me. I always download and install the latest software for my 60CS I did not see any improvements. Works flawlessly, but I still miss support for POI. Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I've been running the latest beta versions on my 60C and it has been working just fine for me. Quote Link to comment
+One-Wheel Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 In answer to your question I have installed the latest Beta version. I have found a few issues. The compass is completely unreliable. I can't get stable readings even with a clear view of the sky. I have used it for approx 8-10 hrs of caching. I plan on reloading the older version. It has increased the difficulty of Geocaching as I can't get within roughly 50 feet. Previous version was much more stable and would lead me directly on top of the caches.

SandyGarrity Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Thanks One-Wheel. Do you carry a magnetic compass? Quote Link to comment
+Campmaster Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Updated my 60CS to the beta firmware today, went smooth still have to test. ~CMT Quote Link to comment
+One-Wheel Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Sandy Garrity if I were to carry a Magnetic Compass that would imply that I could actually use it. LOL Boy Scouts was an awfully long time ago. I'm inclined to have the GPS guide me, and carry extra batteries. Quote Link to comment
