Grasscatcher Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Be sure the "datum" is set correctly. Maybe check with your cousin and ask what datum setting (and other settings) he used when the unit was acting correctly. Quote
+PDOP's Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Check the datum. It should be set to the WGS84 datum Quote
jholly Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Also if you do a find, select a waypoint and then scroll over to map to look at the map and hit enter while looking at the map you are now in the waypoint edit mode. If you happen to scroll with the joystick your moving the waypoint. Hit enter again and you save the waypoint at the new location. easy to do, happens to many. Jim Quote
