+goose157 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hi can anyone help. I own one or two gps devices but i am completely stuck with this problem!! I have recently perchased an etrex 10 for the wife (she is really pleased with it) but on plugging into basecamp i am informed it can be upraded to latest firmware 2.70 (yes i know 2.73 is out but anyway) on agreeing to upgrade i am then informed 'not enough memory please free up memory on your device' - this was straight out the box!! Am i doing somwthing wrong? I have though maybe you have to plug it into the pc and wipe all the garmin operating system files, but i really did not want to until i had been on the forum... Any help greatly appriciated. P.s to be honest the device works great but it is bugging me that it will not go from stock 2.50 to 2.70 .... Cheers, Chris. Quote Link to comment

You risk bricking it! (totally dumb design but this is the way it apparently is.) Quote Link to comment
+Croesgadwr Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hi, I think if it were mine and I had this 'issue' (was going to say problem, but at the mo we don't know if it is a problem!) I would send a quick email to Garmin uk. In my opinion they are pretty good as regards actioning queries... and in any case as you say "the device works great". So 'if it ain't broke don't try and fix it!!', at least until Garmin have given an opinion. Quote Link to comment
tr_s Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I second that, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I check for firmware updates for my 30 every few days but that's because I have good reason to... Quote Link to comment
+goose157 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Cheers for the comments.... i will get in touch with the Garmin guys to see what they have to say about it. Thanks, Chris. Quote Link to comment
