Author odd altimeter readings

Has anyone else had strange altimeter readings lately? Beginning last
Thursday (Mar 22) every so often my track log will show an altitude of
29999 meters or -15000 meters, and stay like that for the rest of the
log.
Perhaps a unit defect or firmware problem?

Does this happen to be either a 60CSx or 76CSx? There have been a
number of such reports suggesting a firmware problem. If so, report it
to Garmin and hope they can come up with a solution fairly soon.

Oddly, my II+ has been doing the same after several hours of normal operation -
except that it at least detects the irregular operation and says "power down and
re-init". Whether it is the same cause is unknown.

Yes, sorry - should have mentioned that, it is a 60CSx
