Especially as the betters life in my 405 has gradually been decreasing over the last two years. Monday's LSR proved to me that it won't now last a whole marathon.

Does for me as well but keeps reoccurring. Just done it again now and problem solved.

It's that MacMillan background that triggers the problem. No idea what the issue is.

How do I find what charge us left on the 610?

Go to the setup page - there's a battery indicator at the bottom.

Hi all - quick question.

I disabled the setting on the 610 where it pauses when you stop (or lose signal) so this means that the stopwatch continues whilst this happens. However, one thing that seems to be different compared to my old 205 is the way it records the difference when you lose signal.

On the 205, if you lost signal, once you got your signal back it worked out the straight line distance between the 2 points then added it to your total. The 610 doesn't seem to do this.

It was very annoying during VLM where you go through 2 longish tunnels and it refused to calculate the distance.

Are there some settings I need to change?

Looks a bit like a 410 with a touch screen
