update your map, it's a bug of the old version, Garmin corrected it

Hi, I am new to this forum and the whole "get more" of the Garmin unit thing, and I have used search function, but cannot seem to find the answer. So I am going to ask here, is there a way to backup the firmware on the unit?

Thanks.

There is no simple way to backup firmware but it is a good idea to backup all content of your nuvi to PC. Connect nuvi to PC by USB cable, it will be recognized as removable drive, and simply copy all files to PC.

All firmware versions for nuvi can be downloaded from Garmin, but there is no searchable directory on Garmin site. You can search for upgrade info like this one:

You will find a link to firmware if you look at html source for this page

Some firmware versions can be found here:

Usually you can flash older firmware version without problems, but there are some cases, when flashing is not possible or can damage gps.

Hi, Just wanted to confirm a few things:

1). Garmin has launched the Garminfone with Asus for Android, can we get this Garmin software for other Android Phones also like MotoDroid, Incredible etc.
2). If yes, Is it possible to use the Garmin India map files posted in this forum to use with this Garmin software.
3). If not, is there any other GPS software for Android phones with which we can use the these India Map files.

Regards

1. Yes, Garmin has launched nuvifone, no - software could not be transferred to other Android phones (for now)
