GPS not updating have SW update to 11.0

Ok. I expected the GPS version to update on to v2.30 when I updated to SW v11.00
but it did not. On the software about screen, in fact it says GPS 4.40! (yes it shows the ! as well)

so how are we supposed to get that GPS version?

I'm trying to connect to garmin express, but my PC + Garmin Express + 5x do not seem to want to play nicely.
Thanks for the support

I am upgraded to 11.0 from beta 10.55, and everything is done automatically. I still have GPS v. 2.30....

I's having this same issue...no luck
Tried WebUpdater, and it finds that i need gps update, but it fails to do that.

Anis82, I can only suggest (if you haven't already, and maybe even then) that you try connecting your watch to a PC and running Garmin Express, maybe more than once, and with a recently updated version of GE. This seems to be one of those s/w issues that can be solved by persistence, as if you have to prove that you really, really want it before the 'system' will relent and do the update.

jetguat : I had the same issue. When trying to update GPS software from 4.40 to 2.30, using either Garmin Express, or Garmin Web Updater, On Mac, transfer to the 935 was done properly, but after disconnecting the GARMIN drive, GPS firmware update on the watch itself was always displaying an error tried many times.

Eventually, I found a solution:

- Connect the forererunner 935 to the Mac (or PC)
- Go into folder Garmin/REMOTESW and delete all the files in it (I had EPO.BIN EPO_BAD.BIN and GUPDATE.GCD in it, I suspect that the culprit was EPO_BAD.BIN)
- Launch garmin web updated again, and download GPS firmware (it will put again GUPDATE.GCD file in REMOTESW folder)
- Disconnect GARMIN drive and disconnect USB cable
- On the watch, accept GPS firmware upgrade : it should now proceed to GPS firmware update with success

Hope this procedure will work for you too.
