I loaded it last week or so with new firmware, did a bunch of caches, and now today it shows me on the otherside of the world when, well sometimes when I'm moving and then it's sometimes when I'm stopped. As soon as I do the opposite, it puts me back in actual location, and then will go back to otherside of world. Anyone else experiencing these problems. I reloaded firmware and same problem. When I reloaded firmware i noticed it said "fixed issue when moving slowly in Canada"I think they created an issue. Any thoughts.

Has to be a bug in new firmware, reloaded 3.71 beta firmware and it's working good again. Anyone else?

Well my friend, the firmware version for our 62s is currently v.3.90. I suggest to use WebUpdater and bring that puppy up to date.

I updated mine and it seems fine. Still a slight sticky issue but nothing near as bad as it was.

Sticky issue on 62s? I thought only the eTrex models suffered this problem?

Various Garmins in the past have had 'sticky issues'

I did have it updated to 3.90. Worked for 2 days of caching then acted up. Had to go back to 3.71 cause that's all that was showing on Garmin's site. Worked good with previous firmware, can't remember what version it was, but the latest update is where the problem started. Will watch to see if anyone else has issues in the next couple of weeks, cause it was just out last week or so.

Oh my god. All these firmware bugs regarding basic functionality... Sometimes I wonder if Garmin has a "traitor" from another manufacturer working in their team, this sure ain't good for their reputation at all...

Mine is fine also.....most outings its works perfectly and on occasion it seems a little oversensitive.

Could be a Canada issue, there was something in the update Canada specific. Will try again to reload and see if it works again. No one else seems to have the issue.
