Has anyone else found this? Reinstalled 2.85 and they are back again. Installed 2.93 beta and it would not read in my .GPX files from geocaching.com. Has anyone else found this?

Appears more accurate that the earlier beta code I have tried The 2.93 beta version is the only code I have found that allows the WAAS setting to get a “D” lockon (I live in the UK).

So I'd definitely say there is an improvement here... The 60CSx, which I turned on, has no lock! Amir K9CHP Improved reception:

By rummaging through the entire update page http://www8.garmin.com/support/blosp.jsp, you can find updates for every flavor of Oregon. It may be the same file, but I preferred updating with the one for my 400i. Amir K9CHP The above link is for the Oregon 300.
