I installed the new firmware (3.15) last night and played around with it a little. I am really impressed with how easy it is to break it out of auto-averaging now. I found it difficult to walk slow enough to have it auto-average, of course I wasn't on a rocky hillside. :-) It looks like the speed needed to break out of auto-averaging is now about .5 MPH. I must say that I am pretty happy to see this upgrade. After my experience trying to find "Scary" http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=10827 I was about ready to go out and find another GPSR that didn't have the high speed needed to break out of auto-averaging. I want a mapping unit, but I would much rather spend my money on my Land Cruiser right now instead of a GPSR. Thanks to this upgrade my 315 should have a good amount of useful life left.
