+WxGuesser Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 well i just got some really super power magnets for micros and threw them in my bag. i didn't notice that they clung to my gps... they were hooked to the gps for a few days... now when i go caching.. or simply navigate to a cache in the offroad mode the red arrow always "sticks" and won't point in the correct direction... but the distance in feet/tenths of miles works fine...is it possible i jacked up my garmin? and yes i do have the latest firmware... maybe reinstall the firmware??

+own6volvos Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Might have really messed up the internal electronic compass sensor. Possibly try to recalibrate it? Quote Link to comment
+Train_Man Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 If recalibration doesn't work you most likely have made the sensor magnetic which would make it not work. Knowing Garmin they would most likely fix it for no cost. Quote Link to comment
+WxGuesser Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 both great ideas.. why didn't i think of that.. i'll recaliberate it and go from there.. and yes garmin does have awesome customer service.. i wonder if they'd let me upgrade to a 60csx for cheaper.. i know.. whishful thinking....

Dirtnapper Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Somewhat similiar situation: I had a flashlight, the one that you shake, no batteries... threw it in the bag...later found my cell phone stuck to it! It does not appear to have effected the phone...close! Just was not thinking... Quote Link to comment
