Software 2.99 (beta)

Not Recommended. The ability to have multiple map files on the unit is a great new feature, but unfortunately this release suffers from a crash when the unit is powered off. This crash seems to prevent some (most?) configuration changes from being saved across reboots. Given that there might be profile file corruption involved, I recommend not upgrading to this release.


•Added ability to load maps from any img file in the Garmin directory
•Improved display of numeric degrees and mills
•Improved Wherigo stability
•Fixed elevation errors when reviewing a point other than a waypoint

How the new update any one tested ?

[hornet]

New FW 3.01 Beta tested. OK.
So far good, no big problem. No more unsave profile change & crash during switch off.

Only minor problem which able to solve by our own.
Crash during plug-in USB which cause by SD card with multiple maps file.
-Remove SD card, plug-in USB (Garmin spanner mode).
If no crash, it may cause by SD card.
-Don't panic just back-up SD card data. Advice to use card reader during reformat.
-Format SD card to FAT32.
-Rename one of map file(img) to gmapsupp.img. Other file name it as you like.

Before you do it. pls make sure backup data first.
