Thanks Nick BUT the version that was on the device was 2. Since the is new, I cannot tell from either Perry's pahge or Garmin which porior version might be acceptable.
I violated the prime directive if it ain't broke don't fix it If you updated without a backup, you violated two. I don't think Perry has anything for the This seems to take a long time 60 seconds at least.
Once the pre boot mode message disappears release the power button and your device will perform some activites to recover from the above problem. If all else fails, you could always contact Garmin for a new one. I appreciate the thought about the reset. While the display flickered, it returned to the "System Software Missing" screen and wouldn't reboot. The also has a reset button at the bottom of the unit but that merely turns the unit off.
Darndest thing. Frankly I attribute the problem to the updater; seems to be the cause for a lot of problems reported in the blogs. According to your manual it says to hold finger on bottom right hand side of screen while turning the unit on. Keep finger down until pop up screen appears and touch yes to clear all data and all orginial settings will be restored.
Page Thanks for the thought Charlie. The only thing that happens when I follow the directions on Page 13 is that the unit turns off. What I'm starting to realize is that while the product may be very nice, the software update process certainly isn't trustworthy. The number of updater problems I've read about over the past several days makes me believe Garmin has a lot of returns in the works. Steve, how did you solve the problem? Upload waypoints to your GPS and print a matching map out to take with you into the field.
Once you reach that limit, your GPS can't hold any more data. They can then download as much data as possible onto their GPS leaving some room for GPS data collection out in the field. When they get back, they use ExpertGPS to upload all of their Garmin waypoints onto their computer and save it. Once they've backed up the new data from their GPS, they can clear the memory again, keeping their GPS ready for their next trip.
These are actual scale topographic maps from the US Geological Survey, giving you much more terrain detail than the maps that came with your Garmin. This ability to toggle back-and-forth between several views of your GPS data is unique to ExpertGPS, and is one of its most popular features. ExpertGPS comes preloaded with all the line patterns and cartographic styles you need to draw highways, railroad tracks, transmission lines, streams, and more.
And the waypoint and track style editors let you create your own map symbols, change track colors, and customize exactly how your GPS and map data is drawn. ExpertGPS can do it 5x faster!
Think about it:. Waypoint comments notes can contain up to characters. How long would it take you to enter all of those waypoints by hand into your GPS? ExpertGPS will save you hours on this one task alone! And you can add your own detailed description to any waypoint - store as much information as you need.
