Factory reset-resets it to factory settings. All waypoints and caches deleted. Unlocked features disappear, Find counts, and total distance traveled reset to zero. Run-Run the unit like normal, selecting no factory reset. Other-other options. Perhaps chance between kilometers and miles. Help-help topics, how do I... See if any of those are selectable, and select run. Quote Link to comment
Tyreless Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 You should try posting on the forum at Magellan Insiders. The gurus there will have ideas. Quote Link to comment

+Glenn Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Should be as simple as running the latest update software located at the Magellan support website. Be sure to follow the on screen instructions to the letter. Quote Link to comment
+Glenn Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I just saw this post over in the GPS and Technology subforum. If you have trouble getting the GPS going again by just reinstalling the firmware then you may have to follow the instructions in the post by gelfling6 to unrestrict access to the flash memory first. Since you already have access to the maintenance screen you shouldn't have to follow the instructions for resetting the GPS but it won't hurt it if you do. Quote Link to comment
