GARMIN 12 - Software 4.57 "Power Saver mode"

[per.ryden]

Har noterat att det numera finns ett nytt läge i setup, förutom "Normal" och "Simulator", nämligen "Power Saver mode"


Är det någon som vet vad som egentligen händer? Förutom att batterierna räcker längre? Glesare uppdateringar? Annat?

Här är svaret som jag fick från garmin.


"Power-save mode works by detecting if you are following a steady
course/speed, if you are then the receiver switches off for a few
seconds. The screen is updated as normal, based on this course and
speed.
When the receiver switches back on the run-up position (a DR or Dead
Reckoned position) is compared to the actual position, if they match the
receiver switches off again, if they don't the receiver stays on until a
'steady state' is detected again.


The battery save mode is not really recommended for slow moving
applications like walking, due to the slow speeds."
