Faulty Garmin 60csx?

[+Ryker650]

I have a Garmin GPSmap60CSx and when using it I find that it is out by about 40ft all the time, the direction arrow points away from the direction I need to be. I have calabrated the compass.

 

Does anyone else have problems with this unit?

Without wishing to sound sarcastic are you sure you have the correct map datums set WGS84 & hddd mm.mmm & also the time set to london for this country. or OSGB & British Grid ??

Also I seem to remember two different arrow settings, course or bearing I think, you want it set to course (the one without the cross track error indicator).

Have you tried it at a known trig point? checking at a cache could just show up the setters error.

I haven't had a problem with mine and have found it to be more accurate then my Etrex Summit. I have not changed any settings since getting it delivered.

If you're still having problems in June we could compare them at the Carry on Camping event.

Mine is spot on too. No problems at all.

I had trouble with the pointer when holding the 60CSx in an upright position. The electronic compass needs to be horizontal to work properly and since discovering this, the pointer has worked as expected.

I did the same thing to my 60cs while playing with the settings last year. It's the Course/Bearing menu item. You have it set to show the Bearing (away from) rather than the course (to)
