Original Post

Garmin has released firmware version 7.07 for the GPSMAP H1 and H1i Plus. Unfortunately not change log available yet.

GPS Software Version is up to 8.01 (from 6.04 in previous release), so wondering what effect that will have on accuracy.

(Note that Garmin releases updates in stages, so it may not show up for your device yet.)

One thing I noticed is that is now possible to sort in the Saved Data app, on distance and name (ascending and descending).

Edit: and, I kid you not, the battery percentage is now displayed in the status bar when you have the control center open.

Added support for waypoint and geocache symbol overrides

Thanks for posting the change log here...

For the life of, I can't seen to get list bulleting working in this forum. It would correctly bullet the first item but all the other items after that would have no bullet. Wondering now if one needs to insert the begin/end tags on each line you want bulleted. If that's the case, that's not very efficient.

For the life of, I can't seen to get list bulleting working in this forum.

The following code:

Code: Select all

[list]
[*]Line Item 1
[*]Line Item 2
[*]Line Item 3
[/list]

Produces the following result:

• Line Item 1
• Line Item 2
• Line Item 3

TIP: You can use the [PREVIEW] button, right next to the [SUBMIT] button, to check your work before you send it....

Thanks for the info @GPSrChive. I've added it to my notes for future reference.

FYI - I do not control how the forum works, I had to figure it out through trial and error myself!

An Unexpected update which I have loaded.
It is too early to gauge the impact but sadly a couple of negative things noticed straight away.
The home/start Screen – mini Map is a mush. All pixelated it is the same on the mini Map on the Geocaching page see attached screenshots.
I also noticed that My “North up“ Map setting had changed to track up.
Also My setting for day/night mode had changed to auto. I have it on day mode all the time.
I will be testing this a lot in an upcoming trip to South Africa in the next month
