Restore an older version of GPS

Is it possible to restore an older version of GPS I'm currently on the latest version 6.6, which apparently has a problem as it takes up to 15 minutes to connect and get a signal. If it is possible to hack an older version of GPS, how to do it?

I would delete all maps (i.e. all img files in the GARMIN folder) and reinstall them via Garmin Express.

Out of curiosity: Which GPS version is now displayed after you downgraded to 15.20?

Copy the old GPS update file into Garmin/remotesw

Not sure if it works. Also I have 6.60 and it's still fast as it always was.

Have you checked if your CPE file is up to date? That can also be the reason for a slow GPS fix.

Where is CPE file and how check is it up to day, sorry dont know

On your watch, go to 'setting - system - About' and scroll through the pages until you see your CPE status. It should be 'current'.

How can I solve this, please help?I have backup all my files from watch, only dont know where is that cpe file and where I need zo put it on watch

Try to connect the watch to a computer and do a sync with Garmin Express. Check if there is a CPE.BIN file in the REMOTESW folder.

Also check in the 'About' pages if GPS version is indeed displayed as 6.60.

If you can't connect to a computer/phone put the watch outside with a clear view of the sky and a GPS activity selected - does not have to be started - for at least 15 minutes. That will refresh the ephemeris data. If he activity times out after 5 minutes go to the Settings for the activity and change Power Save Timeout from Normal to Extended. That will give you 25 minutes before the activity reverts to the watch face.

I just ser , my version of is GPS 0.0.0, any help, I realy dont know what is happend

Oh, that's bad. Seems like something went wrong in the update. Have you tried to sync with Garmin Express already? Maybe it runs the GPS update again. Also check what is in the REMOTESW folder when you have the watch connected. A reboot might also help.
