60c / 60cx

[+clan MacLeod]

I have a 60c and a 60cx. just noticed tonight that the x doesn't light up the key pad when I turn the back light on. The C does.

Any one else have any small differences that they have noticed.

 

Realy like how fast the X aquires a sat. lock and how well it holds on to it. I have noticed a couple of times the map screen will freeze and leave the arrow marker an easy 50ft short of my actual position. The lat/lon are correct but the arrow is not in the right place. If i power the X off and back on it will catch up so to say.

The keyboard on my Cx lights up, sounds like your unit may have a hardware problem.

I got a 60Cx and my keypad lights up! Are you sure yours doesn't? Have you taken into a dark area and turned it on? If yours doesn't light up, I'd say it's a defective unit.

just drove home in the jeep and was sitting outside playing with the c and cx. C lights up and the CX didnt. guess i may be finding out how good Garmins waranty police is. boy i just got the cx3 days ago would be bumb out if i gotta send it back for a week or two.

From what I've heard, if you have to send it back, it won't be gone very long. You'll have a new one within a week.

just one question. might there be a light setting in the menu somewhere that will turn on the keypad?

[+clan MacLeod]

I don't remember one in my C. I reset everything to default in the X but no keypad light yet. I'm one ofthose that will just go with out it because i hate going through the return proses. I'm going to keep looking to see if there's a box that needs check marked.

Hope this isn't too off topic. I was wondering if the note section was fully available in the X series. I have the 60C and can only use about 30 characters

Try this;

 

When the Cx is on press the power button one time quickly, you should see a backlight setting bar. make sure it is set mid way up or higher (the higher the more juice used). Then page through the screens and check your display settings by going through the settings icon, diplay icon and see if your display is set to auto. Try different settings styles as some are brighter than others.
