Hello William,Update available for my 696?
Hello William,
Yes, we will be providing software updates for Garmin portables at Oshkosh as well. The latest software for the GPSMAP 695/696 is V7.80.
If you would like to try updating the unit yourself before the trip, you can click on this link, and follow the instructions to download and upgrade the software.
Thanks,
Steve
Hello William,Hi Steve, downloaded the update package, plugged the 696 into the computer and ran the update. Got the "Update successful" message, but now the 696 will not turn back on. Argh.
Hello William,
It is probably best to contact us by phone or email shown below and we can work through this issue with you.
You could quickly try removing the battery for a few minutes and/or holding down the power button until it restarts and powers up.
Another possibility is that the backlight is set so dim that you can't see it operating in the daylight. If this is the case, a couple of taps of the power button should set it to full bright.
Thanks,
Steve
Hello ALagonia,Will any software updates be available for the 795? If my GTX327 was updated last year at OSH will it need to be updated this year?
