omegaalphaone Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Does anyone know if the firmware updates (to version 5.00) on the magellen website work on the UK edition? Or do they not bother to let us update the firmware in Europe? And leave us with v4.02 Quote Link to comment
+Daisy&me Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) I have a Sportrak Pro, I've applied 5.00 and it works fine. As far as I know, the only difference between the US and Euopean versions of the Sportrak is the base map and that's not changed by the firmware update.

+ZedForce Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 What actual difference to your Sportrak did the firmware upgrade make? My Sportrak Pro is running version 3.01, 2002, and I would like to know if it is worth upgrading? Quote Link to comment
+ZedForce Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Decided to upgrade firmware anyway....some useful modifications so worthwhile (for me....) Quote Link to comment
+Flyfishermanbob Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Updating Your GPS Receiver Firmware (Software) 1. IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PROCEEDING This page contains firmware updates for many Magellan GPS Receivers. You may not need to update your GPS, but if you want to use the most current MapSend software products you should first update the firmware. Please note: these firmware updates are for North America only. If you are using your Magellan GPS receiver in other parts of the world these updates will not be necessary.

+ZedForce Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Having read "Daisy&me"'s post about applying the upgrade and findig that "it worked fine", and also the statement on the Magellan page that the fimware upgrade was for North America only, I decided to go ahead with the upgrade. I find that the upgade has increased the number of features that the Sportrak pro offers significantly over those which were previously available to me in version 3.01. As I use the GPSr for other applications as well as 'caching the added functionality is a particular bonus. There appear to have been absolutely no negative effects from the upgrade Quote Link to comment
+DomHeknows Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 i upgraded mine ok - didn't like the light coming on all the time every time there was a "power cut" from unplugging from the cigarette adapter - went back to 4.06. Emailed magellan who told me to turn the auto off down to 30 seconds. Quote Link to comment
