+Fuchsiamagic Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 My 60CSx normally works perfectly and I love it, however for no apparent reason it sometimes reverses direction. What I mean is, the go-to function arrow actually points AWAY from the cache, and on the map screen, the cache icon moves further away as I think I'm walking towards it! It doesn't seem to matter if the compass is on or off. It does this for a couple of days, then it's OK again. I don't alter any settings. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment

I don't think anyone has figured it out yet, but most seem to say that recalibrating the compass cures it for a while. Quote Link to comment
skirtbum Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Mine has done the same thing. One minute I am 30' moving towards the target and one step later I am 32' moving away from the target. I cancel my "goto" and then re-initiate it. I've had to do it several times for one target and just try to zero in on it. I will try recalibrating my compass. Quote Link to comment

Very interesting, but not helpful in my case. Most peoples problems seem to revolve around software version 3.60. I am using 3.20. Callibrating the compass when the problem occurs makes no difference whatsoever. It just happens spontaneously and goes away again just as strangly. I suppose I will have to live with it until Garmin get their finger out and acknowledge that there is a problem. It's a shame because it's a very good unit otherwise. Quote Link to comment
