Prevents long idle times during power save GPS mode.

Just upgraded also.... But had 2 abnormal shutdowns while collecting the almanac... :huh:

An anomily perhaps???? I hope... <_<

 

It did find WAAS 48 real quick...

 

 

mine took fine.Per as usual.

 

60CS. check your usb port for constant connection

 

Thanks, but actually the firware upgrade, and 500 geos all downloaded fine to the GPS while connected to the PC via USB... The power failures were while I was navagating on a trip.... I'm marking these as anomilies until it happens again... :(

This is old news with these. 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.

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!!!!!! B):):laughing::)

 

Now I'm just waiting for the Mac software to be released :):)B)

I only wish the update to the 4.10 did the miracle sat. reception improvement that you experienced. 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.

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.

 

I happened to look down at mine, I thought it said deleting that version but not sure?
