CenTexDodger Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 This update makes the following changes: Adds support for Topo Great Britain maps. Correctly handles apostrophes and prefixes when displaying European city names and streets. Fixes occasional shutdown on highway page. Uses updated search process for WAAS and EGNOS satellites. Presents only relevant cities as choices given during address or intersection searches. Preserves stopwatch lap distance if user goes off of the stopwatch page. Corrects profile plot for tracks and routes that cross the Prime Meridian. Prevents long idle times during power save GPS mode. Sounds anchor drag alarm until reset by the user rather than sounding just a single tone. Shows proper units on the map page when reviewing depth contours on the map page. Applies map datum only to the Location (selected) field and not to the Location (lat/lon) field. Quote

The power failures were while I was navagating on a trip.... I'm marking these as anomilies until it happens again... Quote

But I'll tell you anyway just in case you don't know. With batteries in older 60cs's they would shut down with some vibration as the batteries weren't tight against contacts. They have an upgrade kit for this. It happened to me walking through the woods sometimes and they gave me a new one With the upgrade installed. Or they'll send the kit I believe. (Garmin did). I hope this is all it is for you. Capt. Quote
Delaypat Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 I find 35 and 48 at the same time, yet the bars will never get solid. Any ideas???? Quote

+JT & PJ Cole Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) I have installed this update. The time to lock seems to have improved. Time will tell. Edited April 22, 2006 by JT & PJ Cole Quote
+stantastic Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 What the...? I don't believe this!!! I've had my 60CS for a couple of years and I have NEVER been able to get a reading from my upstairs office at home -- NEVER, EVER, EVER. It never got a strong enough signal from any satellites at all, barely up to the first graph line, and even then only one satellite, maybe two at the most, and those would jump in and out. I just did the 4.10 firmware update and as soon as it was done, it grabbed 4 satellites within about 15 seconds and it has held strong for over 10 minutes. What the heck did Garmin do to my GPSr? Cool!!!!!! Now I'm just waiting for the Mac software to be released Quote
+webscouter. Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Anyone else have groups of icons repeating when you try to change the icon type on a waypoint? Quote

I didn't seem to see a change in that area but I am glad to update the 4.05 beta software version I had been using. team sidewinder Quote
Pat_in_Utah Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 So can can one upgrade their 60CS from firmware version (say) 3.5 directly to 4.1 or do I have to update to 3.6, then 3.7, 3.8 ... to get to 4.1? I have fopunf no answers searching this forum or Garmins site? Thank you, Pat Quote
+BlueDeuce Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Go right to 4.1. It'll include all past upgrades. Quote
+Sputnik 57 Posted April 29, 2006 Posted April 29, 2006 Upgraded with no problems, but oddly, while the upgrade was running, the screen said "upgrading to version 3.7." After installing, I checked, and sure enough, ver 4.10 is installed. Quote
