terrier410 53 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) from what i have read mate the onus is on them now to not supply to countries where they are not allowed also if you update an old collar it will not work in britain either, Changes made from version 3.40 to 3.60:Disabled dog tracking when used in countries for which the radio frequencies are not authorized. Improved map drawing in urban areas. Fixed display of temperatures below freezing as reported by tempe wireless temperature sensor. Fixed issue retrieving Public Land Survey System data from certain TOPO US 24K maps. Improved load times for geocache descriptions. i nearly updated my collars and spotted this thank fck cos they would all be useless. Edited January 19, 2015 by terrier410 1 Quote Link to post
huntingnightowl 13 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I updated mine and nearly fecker them all up. I Googled the problem and had to download a file and upload it to collars but I haven't a clue how I did it now. Just letting you know that it can be converted back 1 Quote Link to post
