How to get GPS firmware v4.80?

5673719 over 4 years ago

I have updated to system firmware 4.10 but the device indicates GPS version 2.90 (!) with No updates available.

I presume the exclamation mark indicates that there was a problem with GPS firmware update.

How do I obtain the current GPS update?

Thanks mcinner1. I used Garmin Express.app to get GPS v.4.80. I must say though it was a pretty flaky procedure requiring multiple attempts in various manners – repeated failures, seeming success at updating maps then seeing them still requiring updates, etc.

I think it also flaky that the device will upgrade the system update itself but GPS upgrade requires Garmin Express.app.

Heh. Turns out the flakiness is a long-standing issue – supposed to be fixed by end of month
