+gelfling6 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 While out doing a Multi this afternoon (about 2 hours ago), I went after an old DNF from a few years back. The eTrex Vista HCx's joystick was acting up (old break that needs repair.), so I trusted the GC would get me close to the location.. Ah! found the 1st stage, and entered the coordinates to the final.. N xx° 44.654 W XXX° 47.415 (N/W Degrees X'd out to not spoil the stage). Okay, all well and fine entering the coordinates. Then, I clicked Save.. the North coordinates saved as N XX° 44.653. ( -00.001) Thinking I hit the joy button down before in, I re-edited it.. re-saved.. Nope, came back 44.653.. tried this 3 times.. Same result. tried saving it to a different waypoint.. NOPE! same.. What the heck? I tried .001 off each direction.. Saved.. The number stayed the same. Tried .654 again, Nope.. Back to .653 again.. Reported this to Magellan, but don't expect much back.. Also trying to find a replacement keypad, as the joy button has worn through from use, and unable to find any on EBay. Seemed rather odd, that this would be happening.. At least I kept the two coordinates that did save (.653 & .655), so I had a line area to find in. Stephen (gelfling6) Quote Link to comment
+TheHansens6 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I am having the same issue today with my eXplorist GC. Did you ever figure out how to fix it? Quote Link to comment
