Garmin GPSMAP 620 - Firmware 3.00
BlueGerbil | 21. August 2009 23:36Über den Garmin WebUpdater gibt es nun eine neue Firmware für´s Garmin GPSMAP 620 - auch die GPS Empfangssoftware erfuhr eine Überarbeitung - hier ist der Versionszähler nun bei 2.90 angelangt. Ein direkter Downloadlink ist mir nicht bekannt.
Nachdem das Update auf die Version 2.60 zu einem Crash bei mir führte und ich das Gerät an den Service einsenden musste, habe ich das Update auf die Version 3.00 mit etwas flauem Magen gestartet - aber es lief ohne Probleme durch. Aussagen zur Performance, neuen Bugs o.ä. kann ich noch nicht machen, aber subjektiv “fühlt” sich die Kartenanzeige beim Zoomen und Verschieben nun etwas flotter an.
Changes made from version 2.60 to 3.00:
Fixed potential lock-up when autorouting with XM connected. Added support for GB Discoverer charts. Expanded control of navigation leg transition to include a time-based choice. Improved waypoint marking interface to minimize map obstruction. The unit will no longer display the waypoint review page automatically when marking waypoints on the map. Select the new waypoint’s name from the pointing menu to review. Added route turn angle information to turn scanning text. Revised weather legends for GPSMAP 640 XM weather charts. Greatly improved the drawing speed for charts. In most areas users should rarely see a partially drawn map when zooming and panning. Added continuous smoothing between zoom levels. Added continuous smoothing of the head-up direction for head-up charts. Head-up users will find this change a remarkable improvement in performance. Add ability to choose the label display for waypoints by symbol. User can choose to show labels for waypoints of a particular symbol with the waypoint name, comment, or symbol only. Waypoints can now be turned off on charts by symbol. This allows the waypoints on the map to be quickly
limited to those of interest for the boater’s current activity.Added option for a compass tape at the top of the screen. Added all supporting features for the latest g2 and g2 Vision, including user control of bathymetric contour shading. Added a perspective 3D display of charts for people who do not have g2 Vision cards. Added ability to overlay charts and photographs on the 3D relief when using g2 Vision. Added ability to rotate the 3D view and point to objects for review. Numerous appearance and drawing performance improvements. Added option for a compass tape at the top of the screen. Added user comments field to waypoints. Added range, bearing, and a graphical pointer to waypoint review pages. Use a solid line for AIS vessel heading and a dashed line for course over ground. Added user-controlled trails for AIS and DSC vessels. Added connecting legs over shallow areas at the beginning and end of the path. This allows the boater to auto guide to a shore-based service. The unit will sound an alarm when the boat approaches the shallow leg. Added a control for shore-line proximity tolerance which allows the user to choose tighter margins for passage through narrow channels or set a larger distance margin from the shoreline. When following Autoguidance, added a navigation option to recalculate Autoguidance to the current destination from the boat’s current position.
