Colorado 300 pointer pointing wrong direction

[+storm180]

Hope someone can help, my friend and I are currently caching out in Oregon. Seems his colorado is acting up. I also run a colorado and mine is fine. After almost every cache he has to recalibrate his compass, the map and the pointer arrow and the line for the where the cache is located is backwards. The map isn't even turning right toward the cache as he is walking. If he is walking west the cache is showing to the east. I checked all the settings and matched them to mine and they are all the same. It totally opposite of what it should be. Once he recalibrates everything is normal again until the next cache. I was going to try a hard reset but I cannot get his cache data back into his colorado because I forgot the colorado at home. I am not sure if the gpx data gets erased on the hard reset. He is set to track up, like mine also.

 

Any words of advice would be great, won't be able to contact garmin till late next week so hopefully someone can help. I guess worst case is try a hard reset and wireless send the data from mine to his buthe won't have description or anything.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Yes it has the latest firmware.

So back home, I called garmin today and they confirmed that they had several reported cases of this happening to those units. They are sending me out a replacement.
