Garmin hat vor einigen Tagen neue Outdoornavis angekündigt ( Garmin Montana 650t, Garmin Montana 650 und Garmin Montana 600) da kommt schon die Befürchtung auf, dass die „alten“ und bewährten Geräte: Garmin GPSMap 62s / st,  Garmin Oregon 450, Garmin Oregon 550 und Garmin Dakota 20 vielleicht nicht mehr in den Genuss neuer Firmware und erweiterter Funktionen kommen.

Zumindest an der Bereinigung bisher vorhandener Fehler und auch bei der Optimierung der Geschwindigkeit hat Garmin bei der nun offiziell verfügbaren neuen Firmware aber wohl ganze Arbeit geleistet – zumindest lässt dies die lange Liste der Änderungen vermuten. Neue Funktionen sind aber werde für Oregon noch Dakota  dabei. Auch die relativ aktuellen Geräte der Serie GPSMap 62 erhalten mit den Update nur Fehlerbereinigungen und Funktionsoptimierungen,  aber keine neuen Features.

Die Firmware für die Garmin Outdoornavis kann über den offiziellen Webupdater von Garmin bezogen werden. Ein lohnendes Update für die Navis, besonders wenn man von einem der Fehler betroffen war die nun gefixt wurden. Ob es wirklich eine optimierte Genauigkeit und eine verbesserte Geschwindigkeit durch das Update gibt konnte von uns bisher nicht getestet werden.
