GPS software 2.60 for 60CSx

[RS]

Following the recent release of device software 2.90, Garmin have now released GPS (receiver) software 2.60. I have seen no reports of any problems over installing this, and had none myself. American users report that it resolves WAAS reception problems that had been widely recognised. I have not identified any impact on EGNOS in the UK. However, I can report that I have done careful before-and-after experiments involving long railway tunnels, and it has resolved the problem that with WAAS/EGNOS enabled, loss of signal could be recovered only by switching the device off and on again.

Hi Strumble,

You can only download the GPS receiver software using the Garmin WebUpdater. It does not appear in any of the other Garmin web pages that I can see.

I have used the WebUpdater and now run Software version 2.9 and GPS Software version 2.6.

It all seems to work OK.

Cheers

Thanks for that.
It was a pain having to switch off, then on, to regain a lost signal.
I hope the update will cure that.
