Grasscatcher Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Wonder what's different to 4.70 Probably the same difference between the 3.30 and 3.40 for the 62/78.....(couldn't resist that)... Your other post about a botch in 4.70 is very likely correct. Quote Link to comment

+myotis Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Well it does not fix the problem with lock ups on importing PQs. Geez, why cannot they fix this????? I also have the same problem of lock ups when trying to delete all waypoints when a large PQ is loaded. Quote Link to comment

+myotis Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Has anyone figured out how to turn of the display of the track with the new firmware? You used to be able to see the map without the track by turning tracking off. Now it shows. While I normally want to see my track, there are times when I want to just see the map. I've been lessing with it and so far have not been able to figure out how to turn off the track. Has anyone figured it out? Quote Link to comment
+paconlacellars Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 On the 450: Setup|Tracks|Track Log|Record, Do Not Show. Quote Link to comment
+myotis Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 When you selected do not record, it used to not show the track. Now it appears you cannot have Do not record, do not show. I wish they would have left it the way it was or gave you the option of do not record and do not show. Another issue they I have had for many version is every so often the setting Lock on Road comes back on. I like it off because the GPS is so accurate 99% of the time you are off the road, you are off the road. So when you have it lock on road, it won't show you in the correct location. That made sense when GPSs were not that accurate. But not anymore. Every once in a while, it gets set to lock on road. Quote Link to comment
+BAMBOOZLE Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Version has an update for the other caching site so you can use the camera to verify finds. It seems from ver 4.50 to 4.80 this is all thats changed ( for Oregon 450 a 4.70 is not shown).....I think I'll stay with 4.50. Quote Link to comment

I don't have my Oregon handy in order to check, but I seem to recall that there are options to select which color track log you prefer...one of them was "Clear" - it records, but nothing appears on the map. If that's so...and if later you wish to actually see the track log, you can change it to a viewable color. I have not experience the "return to Lock on Road" anomaly you're getting.
