+hmarshall Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 This must be one of those 'something everyone knows' and I'm looking right past it, nor I can find anything regarding... How do you know which firmware you're currently running? All I see is 2.01 for the maps on startup. Not tapping a menu twice or such? That being asked.. I want to hold off on the 2.8 update. But if I'm at 2.03 or whatever it is, and there are a couple relevant updates, is it possible to get just those. From the looks of the Garmin site its latest or nothing. Thanks!

Main Menu>Setup>About... will display the Software and GPS Software Versions. Edited December 29, 2008 by splashy Quote Link to comment
yogazoo Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) You can find information on how to do things like this in the extremely detailed and all encompassing owners manual. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Edited December 29, 2008 by yogazoo Quote Link to comment

Main Menu>Setup>About... will display the Software and GPS Software Versions. Good grief.. thought I had been through every menu on the unit, missed that one! I'm at 'software' version 2.10 w/GPS @ 2.42. I gotta ask... which of these is actually the firmware that I'll be updating? Just tried to get it registered and some updates via Garmin. Now thats ugly. All I kept getting was 'download complete' '..remove and restart, reconnect, click next'.. and so on.. must have went through that 10 times before it dawned on me that.. you know.. its probably not doing anything.. and likely wasn't. Am also using a PN-40.. much smoother firmware update procedure.. Okay.. now I see which is firmware, I'll learn to read one of these days.. apparently just not today. Thanks!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Calling it a 'Manual' is a pretty good stretch. They should just print the wiki pages and stick'em in the box, at least you'd get some useful documentation! Quote Link to comment
+Bad Duck Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I did the same run around trying to register my GPS. Finally went to the garminoregonwiki site downloaded 2.8 installed per instructions got it registered and then put 2.6 back in. Worked easily. Quote Link to comment
