The change in firmware should not have caused your Sportrak Map to show a
drop in accuracy. I have used both the Sportrak Map and Pro with the new
firmware and have not had seen anything like what you are describing. You
might try reloading the firmware from scratch to make sure that there were
no problems in the upload.
