+page28 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Hi How many or your Garmin 60 CSx's just randomly lock up and if they do how often ? Since i got my 60CSx at the very end of August I have had to pull the batteries 4 times after its frozen and doesn't respond to key presses.... I have been wondering if its faulty or if its an incompatability with the memory card (sandisk 2GB ) ? Also ... Has it ever refused to navigate off road ie, told it to navigate to a poi off road but it's tracked to the nearest road ? Edited October 7, 2008 by page28 Quote Link to comment
+rstickle Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Same memory card and no to both questions. Quote Link to comment
+foundinthewild Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have occasional lock-ups that are only fixed by battery removal. I would say about once every couple of months. A bigger problem for my GPSr (MAP60CSx) are the weak connections to the card. A re-seat and usually I am on my way again. Quote Link to comment
jwv Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi How many or your Garmin 60 CSx's just randomly lock up and if they do how often ? Mine locks 2-3 times a year. Most recently, I was out Saturday, the GPS asked if I wanted to recalculate the route and I said yes. Battery removal required to get it working again. I read in another thread the the 60 csx stops to "think" every few minutes and I'm wondering if that is related to the hangs? Jerry Quote Link to comment
+Tequila Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Probably only once in two years. I have noticed recently, that sometimes, it is slow to respond to a keystroke. But it does not hang. Quote Link to comment
+page28 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Thanks for your replies I have now arranged to get it swapped out. I had noticed that it stops to think every once in a while too ! So I have taken the precaution of ordering a sandisk premium card to see if it makes any difference and eases the pregnant pauses when the replacement arrives ! Quote Link to comment
+GrnXnham Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Mine locks up about once per month--not enough to worry about it. Quote Link to comment
+Team_LPD Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I've had my 60CSX for close to two years now and never had an issue or problem with it. Everything works the way it is supposed to work. Quote Link to comment
+Cherokee Bill Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 New 60CSx, about 66-caches and NO problems yet Quote Link to comment
+DanOCan Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have noticed recently, that sometimes, it is slow to respond to a keystroke. But it does not hang. Ditto. Often I'll be trying to navigate to a different screen and the unit will stop responding but that often lasts less than 10 seconds and then everything is back to normal. Quote Link to comment
