VIRB Firmware 3.70 Released.

Garmin's just released version 3.70 of the Virb firmware. Use WebUpdater to get it.
  • Changes from version 3.20 to version 3.70:
    Added live streaming of viewfinder over Composite Video cable
    Added support for PAL video modes (SETUP > VIDEO > Format > PAL)
    Elite Only: Improved Mode presentation when Wi-Fi is enabled
    Elite Only: Fixed issue with temperature sensor data
    Elite Only: Fixed issue with auto-record when card is full

    Not mentioned in the release notes, but there's been a lot of work put into reliability. Hope it works as well for you as it has for me.
  • Got mine installed on both my basic and elite. I look forward to the enhanced stability. :)
  • I just installed it, and twice when I was playing around with the Setup menus seeing if there was anything new/changed the VIRB locked up on me. That's new; I don't remember that ever having happened before.

    I hope at least taking video will be more stable. I've been doing pretty well lately, with about 10-20 hours of video successfully recorded after my last lock up during a clip transition.
  • Here's the slog.txt, by the way. It looks like it locked up once when I plugged it in to do the update and it didn't mount, so that's still under 3.2. I'm not very happy to see "Out of memory" for the 3.70 lockups.

  • All three of my Elites updated normally, and I've been playing with them since then, and not one has given me any problem.

    updated my elite and formatted my sd card before giving it a test run. happy to report it ran more than 2 hours which its never done before without locking up (this is 2nd unit). i shut it down at 2hrs 8min of recording as it was giving low battery warnings and i didnt want to risk messing up the test. it was charged but not 100%.

    recorded in 720p 60fps with image stabilization on. it sat on my outside porch most of the time but i did get in the golf cart to run a few tasks before setting it back on the porch then inside with no crashes. loaded to virb edit fine and gps etc all shows up fine.

    this is a good start at least...
  • Glad to hear it's working for you. You might want to try letting the camera shut itself down after the low battery warning. It should do that on its own. Mine do, anyway.

    i will eventually but i wanted to give it all the help i could.
  • can anyone post the gcd file?
    Garmin express/ webupdater are not working correct.

    even http://www.garmin.com/software/VIRB_370.gcd does not work.
  • I am experiencing lockups of the Virb Elite under 3.70 as well. Same out of Memory remark
