Perfect! This issue is now closed! I found a Windows computer on the weekend and updated the GPS with the exes instead of using my Mac. Fantastic! Thanks again, cycle4ever! Bret

Thanks for the tip. That 1.7 firmware is only available as a .exe, so I can't even run the beast. I will have to wait for a time when I have a windows computer available for use. Cheers! Bret

Good afternoon! I have a Magellan eXplorist GC that was purchased brand new when they first came out. It is at Firmware V1.0. I am dusting off my geocaching hobby and wanted to get this GPS up to speed. I found from the Magellan forums the current firmware 2.15 must be installed on V1.8. The unfortunate part is that the 1.8 installation also throws me an error "GPS Device Error! - Incorrect GPS device connected for this upgrade!" Is there another interim firmware version I need to upgrade to first? I have found nothing else about this on the Magellan site. I have submitted a question via email, but no response as of yet. Cheers
