| eTrex Vista HCx position error
I have had my eTrex Vista HCx for almost a year. It worked fine until recent. It started to have big position errors, sometimes could be 1/4 of miles. Somtimes turning the units off/on several times may fix the problem. I checked on garmin's website for update, but it said I had the most recent update already. Any suggestions? Thanks. -Emily |

Try giving it a master reset (which may clear out any waypoints you have on it, so back those up if needed). Hold down Page, Enter, and Find while turning it on. Once it powers up, it should be reset. |

Thanks. I reset the GPS (holding Page, Enter, and the power keys for 7 seconds). I hope it'll fix the problem. |
