GPSmap 62st Freezing - fundamental flaw?
Former Member
Hi, I have noticed this problem since I bought the GPS in 2010 but it is more of an issue now because of the way I am using my GPS: when following an Active Route with turn by turn directions, when you deviate from the given route, it freezes the entire GPS with no buttons functional. I have to take the batteries out to give it a hard restart. I thought it might be a software bug issue, but I updated to version 4.4 yesterday and then confirmed today that this issue has not been resolved. It renders the GPS essentially nonfunctional for automobile driving guidance, an essential aspect of this model to get to a destination such as a trailhead. Had anyone else noticed this problem - is it unique to my device or a fundamental design flaw? thanks.
I'm having the same problem at times with my 62s, I don't know however if its when I deviate from my route but I have to reset my gps as well
ps Still having that problem with being logout of the forum when posting
I have the 62 St and it freezes when making a wrong turn and it is very frustrating. Thinking of returning it.
