Tomas4x4 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have taken the Colorado 300 with TOPO US 2008 on a car ride to enjoy street labels working only to find out that they initially do, but after few miles on the road disappear both from Recreational or Automotive map view. They could be brought back by zooming out and back in or by panning but not reliably. It is possible that it comes back on its own. I have experienced street labels dissapearance again today while driving. The only way I was able to get them to show up again was by turning the unit off and on again, I actually had to do it twice because first restart did not help. I tried everything else first: zoomin in and out, panning, switching to Trip Computer page and back, switching from Recreational to Automotive mode and back but only the restart worked. I have also seen it once when biking too but it came back on its own. It seems to happen more often when driving (speed of movement seems to have something to do with it). I believe it is a problem with software, it could possibly be related to specific map (US TOPO 2008) and/or location (Portland, Oregon) but I doubt it. Still no one else? Quote Link to comment

+sawblade5 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) OK, I have a couple of questions on this unit. 1. Will the topo maps set I recently very recently bought which was US version 3.02. Will this version work with the Colorado and show 3D mapping with it? 2. What are the size dimensions of the unit by inches? Edited March 9, 2008 by sawblade5 Quote Link to comment
+HAB214 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I just put Topo 08 on my Colorado 300. Is there a way to not display the icons that come with the topo? Like the schools, churchs, cemeteries, etc. Quote Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Why remove something that did work nice on the 60 series?? I suspect that quite a lot of what is "missing" on the CO compared to the 60xxx, is down to marketing. I took my CO caching for the first time this weekend and I was glad I had my good old 60cs along for next-turn pop-ups (I haven't found those on the CO), turn info with distance and time, and the page button to let me flip from map to turn map to turn info with one finger. My guess is that Garmin wants you to buy one GPS for geocaching and another with better navigation software for long trips. The navigation features of the CO are OK for people on a cache run with a co-pilot, but it's not as good a road navigation system as the 60. Although, if that's true, then why have they gone and put in the "automotive" view of the maps? It's a really nice version of this, too. Often you're either too high or too low; on the CO your height varies with distance, which is exactly what you want. And the overall map rendering is way better than the 60 series.

+sTeamTraen Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Here's a twist on "description crashes" or "hint hangs". On GC179PX, the hint is totally absent in the Colorado. I noticed this because I was having trouble finding the cache, so I read logs, which mentioned the hint. So I called up the cache on WAP and there was the hint. I presume that something in the description - perhaps the font - is causing the hint to be missed. The HTML source of the cache page looks OK, though (no unmatched <FONT> that I can see). To be fair, this was the first and only time I called up data on WAP in a 20-cache day. Normally (as in, pre-Colorado), when I'm paperless, I use it every 3rd cache or so. Quote Link to comment

Topo 3.02 works on the Colorado although it doesn't have DEM so the shading won't work the same as Topo 2008. You can get shading on Topo 3.02 if you load both 3.02 and 2008 but the problem is that you can see vector data from both sets of maps so the map views get very busy -- almost unreadable in some cases. Dimensions are on Garmin's Colorado page. GO$Rs Quote Link to comment
+Timpat Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 After doing a little homework (I'm just studying up for the future) reading about 'POI loader', I get the impression setting "proximity alarms" for POIs is a function on the front end; in POI loader before moving to the handheld. Right? Or wrong? Norm Soooo?! . . . The answer is . . . ? Norm This is correct Norm. You can assign a proximity distance (or speed, although I have not used the speed setting) when loading your custom POIs. This works on my 60Cx and other units, but not yet on our COs. It will assign an alert to an entire file of POIs. On my 60Cx I can then set the general proximity alert to ON in the Setup menu. I create such a file to a proximity distance of 1500 ft to alert me of any unfound caches as I drive along. Quote Link to comment
moonpup Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Just got my 400t on Friday and like it a lot but have a concern with the battery meter. I found my battery meter to be very flaky even with the 2.40 update. I have yet to get more than 5-6 hours out of a fresh set of alkalines and when the battery meter goes into the red I can shut off the unit and then turn it back on again to find the battery meter at 2 or 3 bars and then it continues to run although the battery meter will soon begin to drop. What is everyone getting on their Colorado's in terms of battery life? Should I return this one? Quote Link to comment

+Timpat Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi Moonpup, this sounds in line with my battery life depending of course on how I use backlighting, navigating, and switching screens, etc. I use rechargeable NiMH and Sanyo Eneloops and in below freezing temps on long snowshoe treks I get about 5-6 hrs, and a bit longer with 2750mAh ones. I use 30 sec backlight as needed. If I let my 300 sit (with WAAS enabled, compass OFF) in a warm room, I can get over 10 hrs on a set of AAs. Quote Link to comment

+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Has anyone had this problem? In planning trips, I've created waypoints using third-party programs like NG TOPO and TopoFusion. I've also downloaded tracks using MotionBased. I load these into the Colorado as .gpx files. Then MapSource won't recognize any tracks or waypoints on the unit. Here's an exercise I just did... Open .gpx file using MapSource Transfer waypoints and tracks to unit via MapSource Close file and create new blank file in MapSource Try (unsuccessfully) to transfer same waypoints and tracks back from Colorado to MapSource Disconnect unit and create a current location on the Colorado Attempt to transfer into MapSource again, successfully this time. It shows both the gpx waypoints and the current location waypoint WTF? Garmin support tells me they don't support third-party programs. (I should have mentioned MotionBased, which they own.) They suggest manually entering coordinates into MapSource. Quote Link to comment
+g-o-cashers Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Before you transfer data back to Mapsource you probably just need to reboot the Colorado. This does two things 1) On power up the waypoints/tracks from the gpx file are transfered into structures/databases in internal memory 2) On transfer to USB mode, it the internal information is saved into the current.gpx file that mapsource reads Basically the same sequence as above except it probably doesn't have anything to do with marking a new waypoint, just remove that step.

I tried fooling it by emulating the naming convention of the internal track segments by giving my track.gpx a similar name, and no go this way either.

+Marky Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Ok, I know it is somewhere, but the clock on my 400t does not change until I get Sat lock. Is that what is normal? Just reasking, still looking for an asnwer. Thank you. My 300 has done this from day one, and after v.2.40, too. Garmin techsupp told me it is a firmware issue and is being worked on for an upcoming update. Nobody has been able to convince me that this isn't a hardware problem. My 400t always has the right time, even without a sat lock. Quote Link to comment
