Hmm.  I don't have the problem either.  Mine is "Bravo ver 204" too.  Software 
2.60.

Interestingly, on that screen (which I never knew about) the Geko reports the 
temperature.  I don't know if it's ambient, or the temp of something specific 
inside the case.  Anyone know how to export that live with GPS positions?  I 
tried Googling it, but clearly I am inept (and it's entirely OT for this 
list.  Sorry.)
