Does anyone know how do you update the firmware? Navigation map?

You can order the maps or firmware upgrade from the seller you purchased from. I have these. Thanks.

you have to download Magellan's software to your computer, hook up the device with the supplied cable, but make sure your battery is fully charged. Then you can update firmware as well as update to the most up to date maps

I remember reading somewhere that you need to get a firmware update after you take it out of the box and that will fix all the glitches.......I would google it.

I have not had the need for a firmware update, so don't know. This model has been around for several years, so it may not need an update.

I have not found a way to do this. If you do please let me know. We have stopped using due to this problem. I even looked for a firmware update but did not find one. Mgr.ion@gmail.com thanks

Yes I updated the firmware. It was not hard and it seemed to work. But its been a while since I've done it.

As soon as you get the unit, take the cable (supplied) and plug it into a USB on your computer. Go to magellangps.com and poke around their support tab until you come across the firmware upgrade for whatever unit you want to buy. The current level on my 610 is 7.14. It's probably the same software for other devices in that class. Important: Once you start the firmware (flash) upgrade, don't disconnect for any reason or you'll "brick" your new Explorist and then you'll have to send it back to Magellan for repairs.

I just bought a new unit and not having the problem mentioned. Have you tried checking if there is a firmware update available and apply it?

Klamath,I sympathize with you. I also made a mistake by attempting to update the firmware on my Roadmate 6000T which was in pristine condition and worked ok aside from the map being outdated. The thing crashed after the firmware update and would not start. It has been sent back to a repair center in Smynra, TN for a refurbished replacement, I just hope I don't get a crappy old thing back like you did, that is disgusting, IMO a refurbished unit should be like a new unit and not bashed up as you described, Magellan's after care service is terrible !!!

I think that the firmware is the latest at the moment of your purchase, the product is working properly for me but, if an upgrade were nedeed, you must returnt it to Darbee.

That sucks, Ryan. Maybe when the next firmware update comes out, you can reset the unit through the menu after you update the firmware, and it will work.

Mine's doing the same thing as William's but it did it before I upgraded the firmware and the upgrade won't fix it. I've sent two problem requests off to Magellan and all I get is a computer response telling me to reset the unit and do the screen test. I've done that several times and one of those times I got about an hour's worth of proper operation. It's a defective unit but I don't think Magellan cares!

Go to garmin.com sign up for an account register your device. If you already have done that just sign in then click on the tab called my dashboard. From there it will instruct you on how to update the firmware/maps.

Huh, try the new 7.5.1 firmware release issued today. It solves many of the 7.5 issues.

factory reset and then download latest firmware.. i had intermittent connection issues and firmware wouldn't update, until i did a factory reset, now a successful firmware update.

Probably on the Olympus website. I have updated firmware from there before, by downloading the updater software.
