7x5 GPS Problem is NOT Fixed!!!!

I drove for about 15 minutes to day with my new 755t which I did the 3.60 update on before it ever aquired a signal and got the "Updating GPS Firmware", and then "GPS Update Complete" messages. I turned the unit off and started searching to see if this happened to anyone else. So far I can't find anything about it.
It has been working fine since Saturday morning. I guess the problem wasn't fixed correctly, or mine is just being stubborn.
I am reinstalling 3.60 again over top of the current 3.60. I am leaving this afternoon for a trip, and like an idiot, I have two 755t's. So if this problem is not fixed, I guess I will be SOL.
UPDATE
I re-installed 3.60 and have the unit on waiting t see what happens....
Still working....
I have had the unit on for 3o minutes now with no messages. I have been stationary however, so I'm not sure if it will affect it.
Hopefully it was just a hiccup.......
Hey Greg2561 better tittle
Hey Greg2561 better tittle might be "not fixed on my unit" because as you found it appears you are the only one to report this.
It may not be related to the shutdown problem for a couple of reasons.
1. You got the message "update complete" could be wrong, but don't think others got that message prior to it shutting down.
2. It has happened with other updates when people thought the GPS was done updating but was not, and shut it off and restarted it
3. You appear to still be getting a satellite lock.
None of those really would indicate the shutdown
problem.
4. Your unit did not shut down freeze, or become a brick.
Do a hard reset. Hopefully your trip will go well!
Maybe so
After I did the update the first time I checked under Tools/Settings/System/About and it showed ver 3.60.
I made it to Virginia with no further incident, so I guess it was just a spoof.
