I wish my Garmin had a built in camera. I could have used it this morning at a cache where I witnessed 2 bucks fighting. The commercial makes me want to buy it. Smile

I see those commercials don't feature the handy "Lock up the system when using the camera requiring you to pull the batteries for a hard reboot" feature... Mad

Gotta update my firmware....

LOL...there is new firmware out today...not sure it will address that issue though. I have had to restart a few times but never pull the batteries.

If you want to have it crash really badly just go do a Wherigo. I think it must have a "lock up when you've completed all tasks" subroutine. Evil or Very Mad

And yes we do pull the batteries on occasion--it goes completely unresponsive. I think that's a "feature."

I just got my new 550T and haven't used it alot but I hope that isn't what I have to look forward to. The camera and the 3 axis compass were selling points for me.

It's an amazing unit, it just has a few quirks.
