Garmin 943xsv

I just upgraded from a 942xs. The 943 odometer reading resets after every shutdown. The odometer reading accumulated on the 942 and I could reset just the trip odometer. Any idea what setting I'm missing here?

The problem is, I don't want to set the overall odometer and it's resetting itself after every power down. The 942 kept the overall odometer reading.

Is the firmware up to date? Have you contacted Garmin?

Are you powering off using the Garmin on off button?

I understand what your trying to do....I would want the same.

I will make sure the firmware is up to date. I turn the unit off with it's own on-off button.

May be missing the continuous power feed if required

I'll have to check the wiring diagrams. I just unplugged the 942 and plugged in the 943. Same plug for the powder chord. Any power would be shut off when I turn off the main switch anyway.

Maybe a bad internal battery.

I updated the firmware today and went for a short ride. It's the first time I've been on it for a month. Last time was a trip from Adams Creek to Oceacoke and it retained the odometer reading from that trip. Must have to hold my mouth just right for it to work.
