Hi,
Firstly, I would would like to say that I have been reading this forum for some time and it has been a great source of information.
I'm currently still doing PPL(A) training in Poland (I'm Portuguese ... it's a long story...
).
I use my Aera for recording my track which I review after the flight. (I'm purposely avoiding using it before the exams for obvious reasons).
I have been noticing some issues with my Aera 500 (with the latest software version):
- I had the power-off problem once while preparing a flightplan on the ground).
- The touch-screen seems to need re-calibrating regularly (I notice this when using the keyboard : e.g. I press a letter and the key next to it is selected).
- I have been having problems configuring the 'Units' to be used by the unit. For example, I cannot select 'Celsius' as the unit of temperature for the GPS. When I try to change the unit in the appropriate units setup page I simply changes another of the units on the page. I've written a mail to Garmin about this but still haven't had a reply.
Has anyone had the same problem (as the last one I described)?
