Since the 4.10 update I'm unable to "acquire satellites".

Everything else does work fine. Several Reset/ Sync/ 2h cycling in the "free" didn't help.

What is the difference between the European version and the Asian version? If it is the same version than you can update it by yourself.

Hey! Thanks for the reply. They are actually different with different device names and different firmware versions.

(Also, if my understanding is correct, download links are only available for the beta versions of the firmware, and the release version must be installed via Garmin Express no?)

Correct. So far there has been no updated firmware posted for the 830 ASIA devices since 2.80.

Sorry, my spelling suggestion screwed it up. I meant: And we talk about a GLOBAL positioning system? Why this difference at all?

My understanding is that the biggest difference is in the languages supported and the included maps, but I have not been able to find much official documentation on this which is why I’m trying to get someone from Garmin to shed some light on what’s going on...

Looks like 4.1 was released for the Asian devices last Saturday. This is great of course but I still wish Garmin was a little bit more transparent with the schedules and timings for the non-us(?) FP updates...
