unable to manually update firmware

I manually updated the firmware on my FR 245 to 4.40 in Jan. 2020.  I downloaded the latest firmware and copied GUPDATE.GCD to /GARMIN, but when I disconnect the watch, it does not update so I'm still on ver 4.40.  What should I try to manually update from 4.40?

  • After 8 days, the FR 245 decided to apply the update - I did not connect it to computer again - just using and recording activities as usual.  I was about to go for a bike ride yesterday and the watch said it was applying software update - watch now showing 7.80 for software version. Curious as to why it took 8 days to apply. 

  • Yes curious indeed. Glad to hear the issue resolved itself. Lots of added features, fixes and improvements to enjoy with 7.80!
