+Old Desperado Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I realize my Garmin is out of production, but I like it and am trying to determine if it is the latest version.. On the version screen it says that I have "Software 4.20." Just below it says "GPS SW version 2.90m" Are these the latest? I can find on line where it says the latest is 4.00 but not 4.20... But, i can't find if the 2.90m is the latest.. I'm sort of confused...Any help would be appreciated.... The reason I ask is that when I get close to a Geocache, the screen doesn't zoom in and guide me to the cache.. I have to turn it off completely, turn it back on, and then it shows me how close the cache is... Thanks.. Quote Link to comment
+samuel123abc Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 On my Garmin (A dakota though) you go to settings -> about... and then with big letters: Software version: 5.80 or something like that. /Samuel Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Garmin GPSmap 60CSx Mine says Software Version 4.00 GPS SW Version 3.00s Garmin WebUpdater says it's the latest... (Did keep things fairly 'up to date' whilst it was in production) Edited December 11, 2014 by Bear and Ragged Quote Link to comment
+Old Desperado Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 I stumbled across a web page that said there were 60CSX's that were shipped with a 4.20 software version...Although, Garmin didn't want to talk about it.. As far as the "GPS SW version, if yours has an "s" behind the number, it apparently has a SIRF chip in it...If you have an "m", it's a Meta something or other...Garmin changed those also...Don't know why...It's just Garmin.. I still have the issue with close in Geocaches, It will not automatically zoom in when the cache is within 5 to 10 feet...I have to turn it off and restart...A friend of mine has the same unit and his zooms in....

+luvvinbird Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 My receiver's software version is 4.20 and the GPS software version is 2.40m. I tried to update but Garmin's Web-Updater says it's the latest version. I can't imagine any update that could make my 60CSx perform any better. It's always been a gem. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It's a looong time since I've used the 60... Seems to think/remember there's a setting to do with 'speed' Sets 'something' to do/not do at certain speeds... eg. If your speeds drops below XX mph the units stops doing 'whatever' I wonder if this is one of those 'things'? Can't remember what it's called, or where to find it (other than in 'settings') Sorry.

+Old Desperado Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Bear and Ragged: The only "speed" setting I can find is under "setup">"heading".. I'll play with it and see if it helps... Thanx for the info.... Quote Link to comment
