Update erases your saved sites: Can't these be loaded onto the PC that's needed for the update and then reloaded, or at LEAST warn customers to write a list of sites to re-enter before erasing it all?

That sounds strange. I have updated many Garmin GPS's and it never loses the favorites, etc.

Perhaps you should restore it...You will lose everything you downloaded, but I think that's the solution.

I just experienced the same exact problem with mine. I was routinely checking for updates by using the webupdater and now I get the same message "SYSTEM SOFTWARE MISSING", does anyone have a zip file with version 4.70? Webupdater claims my version of 4.80 is corrupt... Funny I downloaded it from them...

Believe it or not, the technology exists to change web sites pages. When I bought this, this information was not on the page and I specifically bought the unit because I travel to Europe frequently and wanted to have updated maps every time I travelled. I guess after 10 or so phone calls to TomTom, and a bunch of emails to TomTom and Amazon, they realized their mistake and put this information on the web page.

Yes, you have to go to the website to update. Im not sure about map updates but you can find whatever you want to know on the website.

It can be updated, but you have to purchase the seperate "Update Kit", which is basically just a cable that connects the unit to a USB port on your computer. With that, you can update it any time. Without it, you are stuck with the US only geocaches that come pre-installed. You just need one update kit no matter how many Geomate's you have.

Note: Ask N.Williams for support info. It's not a simple process right now. Hopefully it will be improved over the next few weeks. You will likely have some issues in trying to update, but Norman can walk you thru it.(Smile!)

Hey Bill, I too had Webroot already installed. I didn't have to uninstall the program and re-install the "new" one. All I did was go under "My Account" and update the key-code that expired. Then restarted my computer and I was up and running just fine.

I have the same problem but for ALL updates - there are about 60 some odd updates that need to be applied and I can't get them to apply. I've tried a few things I saw online but gave up when none of them worked. I need to completely re-install Windows on it. Do you remember if it came with a Windows disk? I can't find one.

Is it possible to just flash an update of some sort? I have an older version also and I'd love for it to sort files correctly.

Not quite clear on what you mean. Essentially the update is supposed to give you new info that wasn't included in the previous data, like new streets or some that were previously excluded. One problem I have found is, that when trying to update maps, the system does not allow it, and Garmin will NOT answer when queried about it. VERY disappointing and to my thinking fraudulent (as it prevents me from getting my money's worth.)

Anything added to thumb drive or iPhone was re-indexed and visible.FWIW - I bought this unit sometime ago, and never use it for Navigation now. Even when purchased, maps needed updating and they wanted $70 for the update. Unit is used now for Music, and Blue Tooth phone (iPhone) only.

Yes had to add my site manually then it automatically hooks up each time. It is slow sometimes and freezes up.

You can click to save, but I don't believe it will save it right there, I do believe it will just return you to the checkpoint. I could be wrong though, I usually just use the checkpoints haha

Did you know your windows computer updtaes at least once a week? creepy? no. updates are required for software to work properly you dashboard 2.0 is outdates mine is at 3.2. If you want to remove it just go to control panel and go to uninstall programs. In a mac just drag into the bin.

They need to be manually deleted, they are still on the card. I use this mostly for quick uploads to social sites like Facebook. Hope that helps.

Hey bud, you may need to un install and re install the game. Sometimes updates delete cc files on accident.
