Go into the /Garmin folder, and copy the GUPDATE.gcd update file to that location. But just in case, there you have the way to get it. Surely this step will save you podrue, since the most normal thing is that if tomorrow the update to 4.30 is released, the file name will simply change to fenix2_430.gcd, and therefore modifying the download link will be more than enough. In the first lines you will see directly the link to download the update, which in this case is. So I was going to do the same, for which I was going to need the update file.Īnd where to get it? It's easy, you just go to the update for the Garmin Fenix 2and right-click and select "view source code". After a couple of minutes checking the memory of the clock, connected as USB storage, and reading a couple of links in Google, I saw that the program what it does is to pass the update file to the internal memory and once copied to its folder, it sends a command to the clock to restart it and start the update. The next thing I tried was WebUpdaterThe program correctly recognized the clock connected to a Windows 7 computer (on a Mac I couldn't even see it), but after downloading the update, it indicated that the file was not correct and cancelled the installation.Īfter a few heads against the wall, I decided to study the way Garmin does the update, to find some solution to the problem. If I couldn't synchronize it with Garmin Express, how was I going to update the clock? And I had to, because it came with version 3.50 and at the time of writing this entry we are already in version 4.00. This error occurred on all the computers I tested, regardless of operating system. Impossible, because that program is intended for other types of Garmin devices, and not for watches. Garmin Express was determined to tell me that my Fenix 2 was not compatible with the application, and to use Garmin Map Updater. AnunciosĪnd that's where I was, when I got the first one on my forehead. And as you should always do as soon as you receive a new watch, the first thing to do is to update it to the latest firmware version available.
#Garmin express stuck on updating maps full
I recently received a new device for a full scan. You can follow the same instructions if for some reason you have or want to perform the update manually, rather than through Garmin Express or wirelessly. However, the procedure is the same for any other Garmin Fenix 2 device. This article was originally written for the Garmin Fenix 2 update.
