+GSVNoFixedAbode Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Help! My Oregon 550 suddenly decided to go nuts yesterday after a power off / on. Symptoms: - location displays correctly when stationary - maps show when stationary - position in compass screen shows correctly - maps vanish (grey area) when moving - position in compass screen shows 00:00:00 (lat&Long) when moving - satellite reception shows good (5m) and correct position when both moving and stationary Maps and WPs are all stored on the microSD card and I've done the power off/remove card/power on+off/replace card sequence but no change. A reload of the firmware and clearing then reloading the gpx file also didn't fix things. Final drastic step will be a factory reset but I'm loathe to do that just yet I'd lose the profiles. Anyone else struck this problem? Quote Link to comment
+andyakashrek Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I believe the profiles can be backed up, look in the memory of the main unit not sd card, then factory reset and overwrite the new profile with the old one. Also I know that you have reloaded the firmware but it may be worth trying a different version to see if that corrects your problems and if so go back to your favoured version, I am on 5.5 with no issues.

+GSVNoFixedAbode Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Factory reset did the trick. Now for a bit of a rebuild. Most of the profiles can be recovered too. Quote Link to comment
