accuracy of trip odometer

[Indrid Cold]

The latest eTrex units had this issue when they came out but it was fixed with an update.

I'll have to see if there's an update and try again but this is pretty much a deal breaker for me and I'll just go back to my 60csx.

Definitely check your firmware version: http://garmindakota.wikispaces.com/Versions

I'm not sure, but the odometers on all the different units I've owned never seem very accurate to me...

yea, just updated to the latest beta and took a hike around the lake here; it definitely improved it said 1.62 while the garmin forerunner said 1.69 so pretty close.
