wireless sharing

Both my oregon 450 and my astro 320 (supposed to be like the 62) has a wireless sharing feature but my units couldn't find each other, they kept "searching". Did I not wait long enough? I wouldn't think it would take too long.

Might be a firmware issue. It shouldn't take longer than say 10-15 seconds at most.

My Garmin GPSMap 62s had trouble communicating until I installed a firmware update. Now it works great. I have exchanged data between other 62s units and a Oregon 550. It is a great feature.

I got it to work. This time I tried it with the gps on. Herp Derp. :P

 

When I tried it before it was in the house in demo mode, I was just getting to know the screens and setting them up. I went outside and remembered the issue with the wireless transfer thing and remembered that I was in the house. When I tried it again it worked!!

 

Awesome!

I discovered another quirk. I again tried to send wirelessly, with gps on, and it didn't work. Eventually I discovered the profiles have to match. Then it will work even with gps off.

 

I have my recreational profile set up to share stuff. I don't have wireless sharing in the menu of the other profiles so it won't be cluttered.
