Amusing how everyone "bags" Vista because everone else does! This has been going on for three years and yes, it had a few nvidia video driver issues initially. I have had Vista from the day it was released and it has worked flawlessly. I now have a dual boot with Win 7 and while Win 7 is no doubt be...

How many times have we done a drive by and thought I have just wasted my time and money - no more 1/1-1.5's for me unless I am driving or walking directly over them. Personally I think that we are continuing to litter the country side with way too many "rubbish" drive-bys that do not add real enjoym...

Yep pprass, thats right ...V2.03 was OK but V2.57 screwed it up....yet to be fixed....must admit that Magellan firmware updates are virtually crap..

Just upgraded my 600 from the old V2.57 to the new V2.57 (just posted). Upgrade worked fine with no compass recallibration issues this time and a few bugs look like they have been fixed. However, one that still remains is the "Show found cache", which after a restart only shows 3 found caches (not a...

Another "useless" comment from knot_gillty!!

I have a 600 and previously a Garmin, and I like them both!!

I have not needed to use Ozi with the 600, but I will have a look at it for u over the weekend...

I use Mapsend Lite, Aus Topo (and Babel if I have to).

I chose the 600 for a number of reasons:

1) Runs Aus topo maps which cannot be beat.
2) 14 channels
3) small size
4) water resistant
5) great e-compass...

It is just the crappy firmware that lets it down! (PS I previously owned a Garmin).

Whats with the "on again", "off again" V2.57 version for the eXp 600? My 2.57 has the following bugs....Found caches are wrong after unit is turned off then on and, Goto POI symbols are now invisible!! Not that happy and looking for the next release of firmware?

Just confirming that firmware V2.57 on my 600 does not record all of the geocaching "finds" once the unit is switched off and on. It only shows 3 finds....

See what u mean....the upgrade is still located here which includes the 500 and 600.

The only difference between the 500 and 600 is the compass to my knowledge.

Not sure which website your looking at GIN51E, next destination site leads to magellan which still shows the 500 firmware that covers the 600 still. My 600 seems to work OK?, so I will leave it how it is until a newer version comes out?

With the new firmware, anyone experienced "Found" caches that become "Unfound" again. I did over the last 3 days!

I assume the 200 limit is a compromise between a reasonable number and the GPS's ability to sort through them (ie. nearest position) in a timely manner. I do not have any problems in swtiching between files when travelling to a new area. As for longer hints, well thats a different matter.

GCA feed does not work either...back to an older version of GE I guess

Having an issue with latest version of Google Earth 4.0.2737 and the Kml. Fetch errors. Is it me or just the latest version of Google that is giving grief? Thanks.
