Aktuelle Firmware Garmin Oregon / Garmin Dakota / GPSMap 62
Wir freuen uns besonders darüber, das auch die “alten” Geräteserien Oregon 300 / 400t wieder in den laufenden Updateprozess eingebunden werden. Sehr spannend ist die Frage ob Garmin die Funktionen des GPSMap 62 den wir vor kurzem im Test hatten weiter verbessern konnte. (Test Garmin GPSMap 62s / st) . Ansonsten kann man anhand der langen Listen sehen das viel Feintuning an den Geräten betrieben wurde. Sicher ist bei den Firmwareupdates nicht immer alles perfekt von den neuen Funktionen, aber es ist schon beeindruckend wie Garmin die Geräte, auch wenn sie, wie z.B. das Oregon 300 schon nicht mehr am Markt erhältlich sind ,noch weiter aufwertet.
