Just updated to 3.40 here in Canada (Toronto) and I'm happy to see bug #58 has been resolved. Yahooo!

So we still cannot use the expedition mode

So we still cannot use the expedition mode

Why?

[g66]

The changelog does not tell anything about the expedition bugs
Just - Improved altitude accuracy in Expedition Mode

But there are odometer-bugs, gps-satellite-selection-bugs, .... all in expedition mode

[GPSrChive]

Have you retested Expedition mode in v340 to confirm those bugs still exist?

[rogerm]

While they don't say so, the problem of the odometer showing huge distances in expedition mode is likely fixed. I've been running a beta 3.2 version for the past two weeks which was supposed to have fixed it. Despite trying hard to reproduce it I saw no signs of the problem. I assume 3.4 has that fix.

[g66]

No, i did not retest it. - i am tired of the myriad of bugs
But i would write it in the changelog, if it is really fixed

@rogerm
Where do you get the beta-fws?
Did you also test gps-satellite selection in beta with expedition mode?

[GPSrChive]

Garmin leaves a lot of fixes out of the change logs, so just because you don't see it there doesn't mean it wasn't corrected.

[g66]

So feel free to test everything - i am tired of testing this buggy unit.

Is it so difficult to write a complete changelog?
