Experiences
I had it for three weeks, but it had a failure on the very first day, and I think I will have to live with this experience forever. My first impression was that I couldn’t turn it on. Then it turned on all by itself, but it had the same problem at next start. Theoretically the power button has to be depressed for a short time, but it didn’t really do the same thing at two pressures of the same length.
I have been in a darker place then, so I tried turning on backlight. I turned the dial, I was at maximum level, but I still can’t see a thing. Is this all that it knows? Of course not. This is a feature! If the battery is running low, it won’t let you waste resources, so it decreases backlight strength. After some reading I learned that this can be turned off, but not on all software versions. There is a patch that lets the user override the automatics.
I’ve just been through the first impression, but then came the next shock: the battery went flat. But why? I knew that this was impossible, but I still replaced it. It didn’t even turn on with the next set. Oh my God. Luckily I had what to choose from. I don’t want to write too much about the case, but it’s good to know that it had problems with battery management both with software version 2.3 and 2.4. It’s already known that with software version 2.3 we had to set the device to battery mode even if were using accumulators, in order to make them judge remaining power correctly. I have experienced with both software versions that when I chose alkali as battery type instead of NiMH, the navi kept running for hours with a set of batteries it considered as dead before.
Unfortunately this wasn’t the only problem I had. I knew that there is a software update so of course I thought it would be a good idea to install it. But I didn’t succeed at first. I went to the manufacturer’s homepage, downloaded an online software updater, installed it, and then the navi went offline and I couldn’t turn it on after the update. I saw the Garmin logo so I’ve thought that it’s slow, but not: the little bastard didn’t go any further in the startup process. ”My dear, I’m going to pay!” Another attempt and fortunately with some more success now. Okay, I won’t have to pay it. Let’s see if it did any good with the menu. Well, well…? Of course it didn’t.
