Delaypat Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 So I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem locking on sats on the 60cs with the newest firmware??? It seems to take much longer now. Hmm....I hope Its not my unit going dead...That would stink! pat Quote Link to comment
Doug in Alaska Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I'm not really having problems locking on but I think it's taking a little bit longer to achive lock than it did before. I thought it was just my imagination. Quote Link to comment
+Night Stalker Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 This and other issues I have read about on the forums mkes me gunshy about upgrading the firmware on my GPS. I guess I am a believer in if it aint broke don't fix it. Quote Link to comment

+geobernd Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I got tempted (my masochistic trait) to upgdate after reading this thread - I updated to 4.10 (from 3.80) an hour ago and I actually experience the opposite - I get a lock much faster than before (but them maybe that is something that was already improved after 3.80 - I didn't upgrade for quite a while) Quote Link to comment
+RJFerret Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I upgraded from 3.9 and no, performance is the same IMO. Remember that the time it takes is variable depending on many conditions. Primary among them is how long since your last lock. (IE, off and right back on you'll have lock before bootup finishes often.) The constellation, reception, etcetera, all affect time to lock. Thankfully since the update I can get WAAS D's despite the WAAS sats being in "limbo", which we couldn't here in NE when #35 got too far away. I've been seeing 8' accuracy regularly since (happily). hth, -Randy Quote Link to comment
+quills Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I have a question along this topic. I went to use my 60cs today for the first time in a couple of months. Now it was cloudy here today but the screen went to acquiring sattelites and found 3 of them but after sitting for 15 minutes it hadn't done anything. I figured it has to get the akmanac data but I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen. Quote Link to comment
