+GordoSlim Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I just attempted to update my 60CSx to version 2.9. I have been successful with the web updater before, but tonight the program stopped after erasing. The software started loading then it stopped with 28 seconds to go and started to beep and gave message on unit "software missing" How do I reload the software?? Quote Link to comment

I heard someone else had that problem and running the webupdater again re-installed the software. Quote Link to comment
+GordoSlim Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 The webupdater will find and ID the unit but the program does not run to find the updates. I have uninstalled the updater and reinstalled it. Same results. Quote Link to comment

Same results. I would try manually installing the firmware, if that don't work I would call garmin. http://www.garmin.com/support/collection.j...ct=010-00422-00 Quote Link to comment
+bonzmeister Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 happened to me once with my csx. I went right to garmins web page and downloaded it. It installed right away and started working again. What a relief. Quote Link to comment
+GordoSlim Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 A big thanks to both of you for the help. The manual update has it working again AND with V. 2.9. Don't know why the webupdater didn't work this time. Thanks to you I'll be able to go caching this weekend after all! Quote Link to comment
+GordoSlim Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 OK ... Now I have updated the webupdater and It is working fine. I used it to upgrade the sw from 2.4 to 2.6. Now I get another satellite (48) and have a bunch of little "D's" on the bars. I'm pretty sure this is good and the unit is now better than ever! Thanks again for the help. Quote Link to comment

Don't know why the webupdater didn't work this time. Thanks to you I'll be able to go caching this weekend after all! I think I would run the webupdater again to get the aditional software(2.60 gps software). it fixes issues some people were having with waas. you can check your gps software version at main menu, setup, system, press menu key and select software version. you should see 2.90 software version and 2.60 gps sw version. I see your post above that you updated to 2.60, we must have posted at the same time, disregard. LOL Edited June 24, 2006 by hogrod Quote Link to comment
alwaysGPS Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 sorry, allow me to digress a little. Just curious, how do you do a print screen from the GPSr? Quote Link to comment
+hogrod Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 sorry, allow me to digress a little. Just curious, how do you do a print screen from the GPSr? if you download the ximage program from garmin you can take screen shots of whats on the gps screen. you can also use it to load your own set of custom waypoint icons. ximage can be found here http://www.garmin.com/support/agree.jsp?id=545 Quote Link to comment
+DustyWalker Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Well would you look at that! I just downloaded the update and see something I've never seen before on my GPS- "D''s ! Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment
