+Jeff in Pa Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I had 2.70 installed and I can't believe the difference! I get reception (good reception) in place's inside my house that the CX would struggle to get a SAT loc at all, I can't wait to see how it will do under all these leave's at my cabin. That is one move that was well worth my time! Jeff Quote

I reverted to 2.60 last night and my VentureCX could see the birds from inside my apartment for the first time. Could be a giant coincidence, but this anecdote along with the other posts suggests that 2.70 may have a sensitivity problem. Anyone talked to Garmin about this yet? Quote
trad444 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I've noticed my reeception sucks also with 2.70 Quote
GreatCanadian Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Where can I find the list of versions where i can move back. I have 2.7 loaded on my CX and prefer 2.6 Quote

+Tersanyus Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Strange. I have a Venture Cx with 2.70 with the stuck screen that really doesn't bother me. But I don't have any reception issues. Works just fine in my house even not near a window. Difference between Vista Cx and Venture Cx somehow? Haven't heard too much about this 2.70 firmware issue in the last couple weeks. I figured everyone went back to 2.60 and was happy. Quote

+hogrod Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 There were TONS of people with issues before which all seemed to be fixed when software version 2.60 was released. I guess it's possible this position error bug found its way back into the 2.70 update. Here's a few of the older forum posts. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...gendCX+accuracy http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...=124061&hl= Quote
+allent17 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I just downgraded my Venture CX to 2.6 and it made a world of difference. Now I can usually get within 10 ft and better of the mark where before my GPS would point to a different spot usually 20-30 ft away. I hope garmin gets this issue fixed in 2.8. Quote
