Says I have the latest version installed.... but the software version on the 62s is showing 2.80. Anyone else have this problem with the updater? Where can I find the change log for 2.80 to 2.90 ? Checked the Wiki site and it says latest software is 2.80. Quote Link to comment

+WallynSC Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I don't think Webupdater works with Beta releases, I have been wrong before. Download the update from link and install it. Quote Link to comment
yogazoo Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) "Improved GPS performance" - Screen draw/redraw speed seems to have been notably improved. I enabled all my maps with basecamp imagery and they seem to render much faster even while panning. Edited December 20, 2010 by yogazoo Quote Link to comment

The point I was making was my 62s has ver 2.80 - Webupdater will not update to ver 2.90. I was asking for the change log from 2.80 to 2.90 and not to 2.91 beta. Others have confirmed the same prob as above...... anyone know what the issue could be why webupdater will not go to ver 2.90 - webupdater doesnt do betas like WallynSC rightly points out below. I don't think Webupdater works with Beta releases, I have been wrong before. Download the update from link and install it. Quote Link to comment

The wiki page and gpsinformation.org do not list a release past 2.80. Although the change history indicates that the beta updates from 2.90 to 2.91, perhaps they were concentrating on their web site and forgot to release 2.90 -- or somebody made a typo.

yogazoo Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 WAAS is dead. I haven't gotten a WAAS lock since the "upgrade" to version 2.91. Am I the rule or the exception? Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I haven't been using the previous "release" version due to problems. With the previous Beta things worked fine for me. With the "release" version I had multiple lockups. Every time the unit tried to recalculate from off road to on road or vice versa the unit (78S) would totally lock. I've been afraid to do another update. Can anybody confirm they've corrected the lockup problems? Quote Link to comment
+Nezgar & Vana Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 WAAS is dead. I haven't gotten a WAAS lock since the "upgrade" to version 2.91. Am I the rule or the exception? Yep, WAAS is dead for me too, in Regina Canada. Used to be able to receive 46 and 51 loud and clear, and of course 48 before it went offline last week... now its like it ignores the WAAS/EGNOS setting, as it doesn't reserve the far-rightmost bar in the satellite view for WAAS.... e-mail sent to garmin's beta email address....

Seems like we are the beta testers for Garmin. http://www8.garmin.c...ils.jsp?id=5071 * Fixed issues with WAAAS/EGNOS * Fixed issue with progress bar displaying properly on power up * Fixed issue with track navigation not adding waypoints to the Active Route list when they are exactly equal to a track point * Problems with the software may be reported to 62-78Beta@garmin.com Quote Link to comment

I had a full screen of Ds on the GPS screen within 5 minutes of powering back on after the update. Quote Link to comment
