[Garmin GPSmap 62 - Will not stay on!]

Thank you very much ... it worked! Hopefully this means it will carry on working and we can do some geocaching the weekend :-)

 

You can try to force it into USB mass storage mode. (If you have a card in- remove it)

 

1) Press and Hold the "UP" arrow on the 4-way button

2) Attach the 62 to your PC via the USB cable while Continuing to Press "UP"

3) Continue to Hold Down the "UP" button for about 30 sec while the 62 boots

4) The 62 should enter USB mode

 

If you get that far you can use WebUpdater to force a firmware install that may get you going again. You could also remove any files that may be causing problems, too.

[Garmin GPSmap 62 - Will not stay on!]

Hello,

 

I am hoping somebody can help me, we have a Garmin GPSmap 62 which we've had for about 2 years, everything has been great until last weekend when it randomly turned off, we were at the end of our walk so we just thought the batteries had died, when I got home and put new batteries in it would turn on but the loading bar didn't appear and then after 30 second it turns off.

 

I have been onto the Garmin forum and can see a few other people have had the problem, there were many helpful tips but I cannot do any of them as the device will not stay of for long enough! I have tried a reset (power on while holding menu and enter) but I managed to get the option up twice the first time it wouldn't let me arrow up and the second it turned off before I could confirm the reset! I have also tried plugging it into the computer but that doesn't work and I would update the software but my computer cannot find because it is turned off.

 

I am really hoping somebody can help because we are planned a camping trip this weekend and really want to do some caching! Any help or comments would be very much appreciated!

 

Thanks

[Trouble sending caches to GPS]

Hello!

 

Hoping somebody can help! A geocaching friend tried to upload a set of maps onto my GPS (Garmin GPSmap 62) ever since then I cannot upload caches to it. I have the follwoing error message "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect".

[Send to my GPS]

We have just bought a GPS (Garmin 62) and we are trying to send the geocache information to the GPS but it is coming up with an error saying "Garmin Communicator Plugin NOT detected". I have clicked on the link to download it but it doesnt seem to be working.

Can you elaborate on this? What happens when you click on the link to download Garmin Communicator? What browser are you using?

 

It opens the webpage and I press on the button to download but nothing happens (it just seems to load and then freeze), we are using windows explorer.

Thanks
