Garmin has published some more Beta firmware updates. While these can enable additional functionality, they’re not always fully baked – you might have to deal with unexpected problems when you run a “beta”.

GPSMAP 62/78 2.95 Beta:

  • Fixed issues relating to WAAS performance.
  • Fixed issue where the device would not regain a GPS signal after losing the GPS signal in a tunnel.
  • Fixed shutdown on the map screen when a waypoint was being moved to the same location as a geocache or other POIs.
  • Fixed issue where proximity waypoint alerts could only be set in feet regardless of what was selected as a Distance/Speed unit in the setup page.
  • Fixed an issue where the enabled/disabled option for custom maps could not be changed when two or more BirdsEye™ Satellite Imagery providers were on the device.
  • Fixed an issue where the device would not beep when approaching a destination while routing off-road.
  • Problems with the software may be reported to [email protected]
