Instinct: not enough space for update

Former Member over 5 years ago

I have a Garmin Instinct watch.

I want to update to the 7.00 version (28 april,2020), but when i copie the files, i get a warning that there is not enough space on my device.
What can i do?

What you can also easily do is to delete the language files of languages that you do not use. That will save you a lot of space on the watch. Just look for the directory containing files on the device…

The map shows the correct route, km and time. i updated by following the instructios on https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=14527
dont know what a epo file is. i did restart my watch.

Hm, if the map of the track is all right, then it is strange indeed. Could you set the privacy on that activity to Everyone and share the link here? Did you do already another ride in the meantime, and did it repeat in the same way?

As for the EPO, have a look here: Expired EPO on a Garmin Outdoor Watch

I use 7.00 too, without such effects. Did you update both files that were present in the installation package (gupdate.gcd and BLE_ANT_BT_140/gup3127.gcd)?

I did

Please check out what the About screen on your watch tells about the installed software:

Menu » Settings » About

Post the 1st screen, then scroll down 6 times and post the info about the GPS and BLE/ANT componenents

thanks for the support

Hm, looks the same as mine. Could you try turning off the auto-pause option on the watch (you need to do it for each activity type separately)? The problem is that practically the entire activity is being considered for some reason as non-moving, although the GPS apparently works just fine. Does the accelerometer still work? Does it count your steps correctly?

Auto-pause for cycling is set "off"- for running is it also off.

I suppose the accelerometer works fine, my steps are correct.

Is t posibble to calibrate the accelerometer?

You mentiont before a reboot? like fabric reset? or just turn the instinct of/off?

Yes, I meant off/on, but a factory reset (master reset) is worth of trying too, of course. Just, you'll need to redo all settings afterwards (after the master reset). If nothing helps, you can try installing back the older version, but again, you'll need to redo all settings.

The accelerometer does not require any calibration. If it counts steps, it apparently works, though.
