Problem with Colo 300 Firmware 3.30

[MtnHermit]

I've run into a problem with my Colo 300 using Garmin Firmware 3.30 displaying POI and contour text. This only occurs a high zoom levels, say 1.2mi - 200 Ft. It is variable from map to map and seems location dependent. I've had it happen with Garmin 24K SW maps but more frequent with Above the Timber's Colo & Utah topos. If I touch any object with the cursor, the text will appear, otherwise the screen is text free.

 

My hunch is that user waypoints increase the likelihood of the text disappearing. When I reverted to Firmware 3.20, the problem went away.

 

Here's an example, left 3.30, right 3.20:

 

 

Can anyone replicate this problem?

Yes, this is discussed in a lot of threads already......

I suspect, it is some re-reading problem of the data. Try renaming the mapsets in question and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks Red90,

 

I've already used map names of gmapsupp.img and Utah.img, no difference. Looks like I'm waiting for 3.40.

Unless you were wanting to add satellite images as the "new feature", you could always back up to 3.20 again:

Personally I think there are better solutions. Names work for me.... There is more to it. Have you tried a hard reset?
