Garmin Software Upgrade - Colorado Series
Garmin has a version 3.0 software upgrade out that adds a few nice features to the capabilities of the Colorado series. I have the Colorado 400t, and welcome a couple of the additions:
Added Waypoint Averaging application. (For more information visit our new Trail Tech website)
Added ability to load maps from any img file in the Garmin directory
Added ability to see a list of points from the map when several points are at the same location
Added customizable text to unit power-on screen (see \Garmin\startup.txt)
I particularly like the waypoint averaging, where you are able to let the Colorado sit at a location (i.e. a Geocache that you are placing, or a particular trail waypoint), and let the Colorado average readings over time to get a more accurate assessment of the true location. With the advancement in the sensitivity of chipsets, some argue that this isn't needed, but I will take the capability and the added accuracy anytime, especially in dense tree cover or other challenging locations.
