Dual-sport-Bob Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 After much research, I finally bought a GPSMap 60cx (refurbished) on eBay. The unit arrived quickly, looked like new, and worked perfectly....until I went to the Garmin site to upload Software 3.9 The software transferred to the unit successfully, but not the chipset. Now my unit says "GPS SW VER 0.00". Support was unable to solve the problem, now I have to wait while the unit travels across the continent, to be replaced with another one. A bit of a bummer, I hope the next one works. Quote Link to comment
Maximus XX!V Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Was it an authorized dealer? The 60Cx is highly regarded by many GPSr hobbyists. Quote Link to comment

Yes, it's called Geekworld, and the unit comes with a one year Garmin warranty. They've been quick to respond to the unfortunate news, so I hope all goes smoothly. Quote Link to comment
