Re: Do I need to retire my 660?

#4 and #5 are related to the WNRO issue. All GPS receivers should have a firmware fix but not, until this week, Zumo 660s. Garmin has put out a firmware update that supposedly fixes it. (I've downloaded & installed the update but haven't taken my 660 out to test. That's tomorrow.) The other issu...

Re: WNRO (week number roll over) bug once battery removed

Reset made no difference but revealed some old saved waypoints that needed to be deleted. Tracks still recorded in 1999. Saw that the update was out there -- something about Chipset M and date errors. Downloaded & installed but won't be checking it out until Thursday. An aside: Found a couple of...

Re: WNRO (week number roll over) bug once battery removed

Did you do a master reset after updating the firmware? No. Never had to do one after a firmware update before. Never had to do one after map updates, either. The only time a master reset has been needed over the last ~10 years was to change cell phones or bluetooth headsets. (Specifically, to delet...

Re: WNRO (week number roll over) bug once battery removed

What's with the "once battery removed" anyway? Is that fiction? My battery hasn't been removed in years. My Zumo 660 has been powered up several time a week all year -- whenever my car is started. (Move it to the bike for riding.) Yet it's been 1999 again since last month. Updating the fir...
