I have tried the reset and thank you to the people who suggested this, but it has not worked and like you have uploaded the software but am in the same position as you are. I am phoning Magellan first thing Monday morning I have decided. Obviously there is a problem with our Explorist GC. Let us stay in touch. I called Magellan this morning and they want me to return the unit. Suggest calling them if you are still having problems. I also am having issues with my Magellan Explorist gc. The same thing happened several months ago and all I had to do was update the firmware to 1.6 Went geocaching with it on tuesday and it worked fine. Went to upload my fieldnotes yesterday and it wouldn't go past the startup menu. The little compass just kept spinning in circles. Figured there had to be a new firmware update (there wasn't). Have tried reupdating it anyways and still won't go past startup. So frustrating. Sounds to me like they need a newer version of the firmware if it stops working all of a sudden. Any suggestions? I also have this problem. I had tried to upload a new way point file and now can not get it to turn off or on beyond the spinning compass start-up screen. Reset button does not help. Not sure I will get much help with my unit since it was purchased over a year ago. Any more ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

Just curious as to what happened with the TBs that went to Washington. I have a Stargate near me and would hate to think any Stargate has a bad owner. Hopefully ownership has been transferred by now.

if a snotty reply was received, it's most likely in the trackables best interest not to advertise this event. Just in case the snotty reply delivery person actually reads these forums just my two somethings, ya know?

My 2 cents.... The replacement satellite map is horrible because it either never displays or takes more than 5 minutes to display. Please pay Google for the API with the premium member $. Thanks! ....or maybe ESRI?
