Garmin Oregon 6xx firmware update
Posted: Tue 19 Jan, 2016 5:54 pm
I forgot to post this earlier, but just before Christmas, Garmin released a firmware update 4.80 for the 6xx Oregon series.
Garmin state the changes are:
* Improved address search.
* Fixed issue importing adventures from SD cards.
For me it fixes one of the issues I was having with not being able to view GPX files on the SD card at the same time as having GPX files on the device itself.
Previously the only way I could get GPX files on the SD card to show up on the Track Manager was to delete all GPX files on the device itself. Now after the update, GPX files on the SD card show up together with GPX files on the device - the way it was meant to!
So now, if I am traveling without a PC and only have my android tablet, I can create a GPX route using Orux maps on the tablet, copy it to the SD card, and having the GPX route show up on my Oregon 600.
