Update Problem Instinct 3 solar 50mm

Just bought it 6 days ago and the software version is still 5.21.

No way to update it. Garmin connect says: no updates available.

Any advice?

Tnks!

Followed deleting folders instruction.

Also deleted //GARMIN/gmap*.img

After ejecting the usb the update was already available on my device.
Installed in 5 min. ca.
Directly from 5.21 to 10.36
Everything seems…

Sorry, just checked previous replies...

Delete this files:

/GARMIN/Activity/ - all files
//GARMIN/RemoteSW/ - all files
//GARMIN/Debug/ - all files
//GARMIN/Courses/ - remove unneeded courses
//GARMIN/Workouts/ - remove unneeded workouts

You can also delete the two gmap... files in the root dir (backup them first). One of them may be write-protected, hence cannot be removed, so only one will be deleted, but I do not remember which one. They are both around 0.5

I'll try to free up space.
