+craggy (nightcrawler) Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 After carefully reading all of the discussions with the new firmware (5.xx) I decided to upload. Everything went fine except one little annoying proplem, no not the location of the new user waypoint. I seemed to be having a proplem with recalibrating my tempature. It is telling me that it is 103+- inside my house, 84+- outside when it is only 40degrees right now. I've done everything from clear all memory, the annoying compass calibration(long and short version). Does anybody have a suggestion that could solve this proplem without taking a hammer to it.

+phantom4099 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Have you tried hitting menu-calibrate when your on the weather screen? Wyatt W. Quote Link to comment
+craggy (nightcrawler) Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 Have you tried hitting menu-calibrate when your on the weather screen? Wyatt W. Been their done that! When I change the temp and press save it goes right back to the previous incorrect temp. This does not work either reset, change temp, save. Quote Link to comment
+Solar Max Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 (edited) I wonder if loading the firmware a second time might work? My Plat is running 5.17, and it had a few hiccups after the upgrade, mostly the barometer. Edited December 13, 2003 by marinerBC Quote Link to comment
Clown Knife Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I would remove any SD card you may have installed. Clear all memory. Then reinstall the firmware and reinitialize the unit. That should clear it up. You may have a flaky firmware upload. Don't forget to clear all memory before and after you load the firmware. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
+phantom4099 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 (edited) Huh, I managed to screw mine up too (although I tried code number 24 before hand- it clears barometer history- I have used it before). I am not able to calibrate the temp or barometer (After I finish entering the correct values I tried hitting "save”, but it did nothing). So far I have cleared the memory a couple of times, and redid 5.12 (with and without the SD card) firmware (neither helped). I will try downgrading the version and report back if it helps.

+phantom4099 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Well I just downgraded to 4.02, and that clears up the calibration problem. But I then reinstalled 5.12, and the problem is still there. Wyatt W. I can live without doing another advanced calibration. Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I know this is of little help, but FWIW my temps and barometer readings are looking reasonably accurate with 5.12. Wyatt, did you reload the "same" 5.12, or did you download a new file? Quote Link to comment

Wyatt W. edit: spelling Edit: Reinstalled firmware without SD card. Sounds like we have the exact same proplem. I'm going to reflash 5.12 one more time. If that does not fix this issue i'm going back to 4.02.. Quote Link to comment
+craggy (nightcrawler) Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 Well, reflashed 5.12(second time) after clearing all exsting files. And I still have the same proplem. It appears to be about 30+- degrees off. I even let it sit for about 2hrs to collect enough data and it still won't let me recalibrate. Quote Link to comment
+phantom4099 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 (edited) I got mine to work, it seems not to like any barometer reading above 31.00 InMg (which is pretty high and off the chart). I imput 29.xx and it seems to work, and I can change the temprature and barometer. Wyatt W. Edited December 13, 2003 by phantom4099 Quote Link to comment
+Scott Johnson Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 (edited) I had the same problem. Magellan emailed me to do a COMPASS calibration and then also the temperature/barometer. That fixed it. What annoys me is that I lose all my custom screens with each update. Why can't we update the software yet keep the views the way we want them instead of what their engineers want us to view? Edited December 14, 2003 by Scott Johnson Quote Link to comment
