Thanks a lot Gage Gecko! I’ve experienced this kind of problem twice now. But the first time, I took it back to the store and have them repair the software.

Now I can do it myself whenever I need it. Great Job!!

I’m still experiencing problems. All software is up to date. Still stuck on “locating satellites”. Any suggestions. This is for a 60csx.

My Garmin 60 is doing the same thing. Stuck on “acquiring satellites”. The difference is my software version is not showing 0.00; its showing the latest version. I’ve tried some hard resets, but that’s not working. I haven’t tried to manually re-install the chipset yet. Hopefully that will do the trick. Garmin wants $150 to do the repair out of warranty. Ughhh

Had my Garmin 60 for two days and encontered this very problem. Your fix worked perfectly and now I know how to avoid it. Many thanks.
PS I think Garmin should be paying you!

My Garmin 60 did the same thing and try as I might I could’nt acquire any satelites. I downloaded the chipset software from your link. What type of cable did you use to connect between the Garmin and a laptop? Mini USB does’nt seem to cut it. Thanks

Hey thanks for this page! I was just out geocaching to test this out and I did this. It is a b-day present for my dad from my mom so I freaked out when it wouldn’t work. We haven’t even given it to him yet! Ran the web update and it worked like a charm! Thanks again!

Were you trying the software update through the software on your system or did you try the manual update using the software I linked to in the original post?

If you tried both methods for updating your unit I will have to look into that and get back to you. It sounds like you might be experiencing some other issue with your unit’s internal memory storage.

Let me do some checking and I will post back here.

I ran into the same issue with my gpsmap 60csx. I tried what you suggested, but still having “garmin device is unable to program the requested memory region. this is to an incompatibility between this application and the garmin device.” error. What do you suggest?
