sanramonhunter Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Have you tried a clear all? You will lose WAAS if you do this and aren't running 2.57 firmware. You could try updating to the newest firmware. Quote
+Starruby Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Try clearing all the track logs in the internal memory. I have found these can really slow down the unit. If you want to keep them, back them up onto your computer. Goodluck. Quote
