+markp99 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I was just exiting my car today as I arrive at a parking area for a few caches (I used the GPS street mapping to find the location). When I looked at my GPSr, I notice a VERY strange thing on the display: 1. The display had switched to landscape mode 2. The colors of the text and backgruond had inverted (or maybe just turned shades of red) 3. The text was still visible, but also reversed. VERY strange. I nearly freaked out! It took a couple seconds to actually get the unit to shut down. When the unit rebooted, all was well. I even managed to find 11 caches today after that moment Whew! I have no clue WTF happened?? I hope I don't see it again. markp99 Quote Link to comment
flir67 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 neverhad that one yet, but it sounds like your unit somehow switched to ocean instead of land for mapping. mine switches to yellow if i do that and its easier on the eyes at night and day. Quote Link to comment

After a moment of panic realizing that I hadn't brough my scuba gear, I zoomed out a notch or two and I was back on land. Seriously though, it took me a while to get it fixed. I wasn't anywhere near water at the time. A few minutes later I was able to zoom back in and the blue didn't return. It was odd. Scott Quote Link to comment
