+TheRedArmy Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) i'm trying to upgrade my firmware from 2.6 to 2.8. i managed to get the SOFTWARE Version to 2.80, but my GPS SW Version still says 2.60. any ideas if that's how it's supposed to be? i installed and ran the garmin webupdate and it says my unit is up to date, so i guess i'm ok.

Motorcycle_Mama Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 That's how it's supposed to be. The Software Version (2.8) is the unit firmware. The GPS SW (2.6) is the separate piece of firmware for the GPS chip itself. Quote Link to comment

+kallt_kaffe Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 so how do i get it to 2.8 GPS SW? I suppose you have tried the WebUpdater? It should say that you allready have the latest software and ask if you want to check for additional updates. The GPS firmware is propably an additional update. I have not done this with my Legend HCx as it came with 2.8/2.8 but I think that is how it is supposed to work. Quote Link to comment

A new version was just released. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=221591 sweet. thanks for posting that. i even tried doing the webudater just now and it still doesn't have the update you posted. what's the point of the webupdater if it doesn't update everything for the unit. oh well, i'll grab it manually. thanks my unit now shows SOFTWARE 3.0 and GPS SW 2.80 i guess that's up to date now.
