bug in dakota 20 firmware 2.80 ?

There´s the solution !!! As ussualy the technical support of Garmin are efficient.

So you must connect the dakota to your PC then go to folder garmin and there you must delete the folder GPX.

Disconect your Dakota restart and there´s the solution. It works in my device.

I got a Dakota 10 last week.
I have updated the firmware to 2.90 but the bug is still there.
I tried also your suggestion but it does not seem to work.

I contacted the garmin support they told me to make an hard reset but it didn't work.

Hello everybody,

today I trie my device again and indeed the problem still there.....when I´m going save the track the dakota turns off.....

I´m gona send the dakota to garmin I believe they will solve the problem.

(I bought it at 5 of this month..............)

yes mate your right it still crashes when you delete the gpx folder, so 2.90 is still making the gps crash when you save a track.
the only way to save tracks is to go back to 2.70 , and wait for a fix on the track save crash

The only version it works is 2.61 beta.

GO HEAR http://gawisp.com/perry/dakota/

plug your gps into your pc then drag and drop the rgn file you downloaded to your garmin Web-updater short cut,this will make 2.70 firmware install on your gps. you dont need to rename the file just drag and drop as said above if you dont have webupdate software on your pc download it lol

is there still no fix for this ?

Till now there´s no solution for the bug.......

I´m disapointed.........

Hi guy,
I try to make a new folder in the main root named GPX with CURRENT, ARCHIVE and NAV sub folder, after that I have anoter GPX folder in the GARMIN folder with CURRENT and ARCHIVE folder.
seems to work...

I also have exactly the same problem. I thought it was a hardware fault at first until I found this thread. I will have to try downgrading to 2.70 :(

Thanks for the advice.
