Update 4.10 for Nüvi 760

You just beat me to the punch. Just saw it about 1 minute ago. What to do........

Don't look at me

Think I'll pass for the time being..... Now if I had 4.0 installed I might give it a whirl...

But I did download it for the 770: http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3813

This is not a suggestion to install it....

If you have a different Nuvi I would suggest getting the one for yours....

760 http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-00...

750 http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-00...

Let me know how it goes, Will ya I'd rather let someone else BETA Test, it. My 760 is working just fine here, right now.

Or correcting the inability to go back to a previous version.... I think I would like to ask Garmin about that issue. I wonder it after installing it with 4.0 installed if you can revert to a previous version.

There's no mention of it fixing the commonly reported problems of the (imaginary) 4.00 either

(ie delayed turn announcements and lengthy boots)

The 760 I ordered should be here in a few days and I need to know if I should update it or not

I would wait a couple of days or maybe weeks and see what unfolds.... I'm sure there will be posts from people with 4.0 installed or brave souls on how it works....

I clicked on the link for the 750, no update yet!

Try again.

On the first page it says 4.1 on the download page 3.1.... More Garmin errors....

It shows 4.1 on both when I do it. You may have to clear your cache.

here i go

My appologies to Garmin....

ok, i am going in for the fw !! wish me luck GULP!!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

I downloaded it off of Garmin's site and installed.

Everything including bluetooth works fine but the .1 mile navigation delay is still there.

Did not try to roll back now to an earlier version like 3.10 so do not know if that is possible again or not.

Let us know if you can revert back afterwards if you are really feeling brave....

Miss POI could we get all of the different threads about this moved into one thread I think there are either 3 or 4 of them. It would make better for the ones that are looking for and answer to their problem to find it when and if it is posted Just a thought.

.. RJRSW....
Just when I thought my nerves were strong enough to try it....
I really wanted to, but all of you brave souls that went ahead with the 4.0, put the heebie jeebies into the thrill of the latest update craze.

Patience will win out once again.

just took a small (around the block ) drive , hmm no issues, maps load alot faster, there is no delay for me, and tourguides are working again !!

woo.hoo

Gonna get my feet wet again..........I'll report back!

Reminds me of the movie "Aliens".
You know, the one where the crew is attacked by the pod/seed.
Good luck and God speed, Buckie!
Our prayers are with you.

Got it, thanks!

When installing previous versions (up to 4.0) you had the option of not installing it after running the update. Is that available with 4.10?

I didn't see it before. The only way I would bypass 4.0 is to accept the update and then get what I want example voice update. Then before restarting unit I would delete the GUPDATE.GCD. so the update wouldn’t go through.

Using the GPS Simulator Mode:

On my 2.0Mile test using city streets, I noticed no lag at all.

On my 6.9 Mile test using the highway I noticed no lag that locks the map while she talks. However, when Jill says .06 miles it’s actually .04 miles. Ugh!

Poi Alerts running smoothly.

As for reverting back to earlier software; I just tried by deleting the GUPDATE.GCD and installing software 2.90 over it. No Joy!
It looks like I have to use the Nuvi 7xx 4.00 Firmware Fix found here to go back.

I wasn't having any *new* problems with 4.0, so why not....

I can verify that powering up with a TourGuide or POI Alert in range has been fixed.

I counted 5 seconds from "Loading Maps" to the PIN screen. From power-on, it was 10 seconds from power switch to PIN screen. I never counted before, but that seems pretty fast.

I'll wait until tomorrow's drive to work to test the rest.

I'm gonna hold on to 4.10 and take it for a spin tomorrow while at work. I'll then decide to stick with it or not.

...just to keep up to date. I'm staying on v3.0 for now, but will upgrade as soon as you guys say it's worth it. Keep the updates coming!

Will post the results tomorrow.

I am also on the fence after the 4.00 fiasco...

I will wait a few weeks first and let others beta test.

I just updated to 4.1 on my 750 using WebUpdater. Took Jill for a short ride around the neighborhood with custom POIs enabled.

Results were better than 4.0 but not as good as 3.1. Still have a lag of about .1 mile at 25 mph. Jill's voice stuttered at least once. Will try more extensive tests later this week.

I was living with 4.00, so I'll give it a try on my 750.
I can always fall back to the iPhone.

Don't know if it is just me, bug the Satellite Strength screen looks different to me. I could be wrong but......

I realize it is very early in the process, but has anyone got the nerve to try to roll back from 4.1 to a previous version? Or is that ability gone forever (I suspect so). I haven't made the plunge yet on this version. Will do tomorrow after one last closely monitored trip to work tomorrow and then compare the next day with the new version.

Has anyone applies the "Garmin Fix" after installing the update. You know, the hard reset...lol. Just wondering if this might fix the delay in navigation prompt problem.

I was brave and updated from 4.0 to 4.1.. So far the only change I have noticed is the satellite page has been slightly rearranged. Will update if I notice any other differences.

i am waiting it out, since i had so much problems recently with nuvi 760 lock-ups and tourguide. i hope that 4.1 will solve all these problems
[holding my breath]

Updated last night from v4.0 - short test this morning revealed that it installed, but still saw a delay. Will test more tonight.

Just updated to 4.1. Seems to be ok so far..........bluetooth still ruined since the roolabck fiasco with version 4.0. Guess it'll have to go back to Garmin for repairs. what a silly mess I had hopes Garmin would have been able to give us a fix. I know that many people lost bluetooth after the rollback attempts!

I thought the Sat screen looked different, too. Weren't the bars horizontal before? I guess it really doesn't matter one way or the other.

It's good to know that they've been concentrating on fixing the important stuff..

The bars have always been vertical on my 750. They are horizontal on my 350.

The difference I see are that the sky map is smaller, location is placed at the top, and the bar graphs are shorter and wider.

Off to the field test.

Just installed 4.10 this morning before going to work.
I've noticed many of my custom POI's were imported into the Favorites. Odd but those can be easily removed.
The voice lag still persists maybe a slight/negligible improvement over firmware 4.00
Jill's voice is still choppy when giving directions.

All in all, it doesn't seemed to have made things worse from 4.00 but there aren't any noticeable improvements for me.

I downloaded it and will try it this morning...

Drew, I had the same thing with some "new" favorites showing up after the upgrade and rebooting. What I found was that there were some miscellaneous GPX files in the GPX Folder. These were downloaded using Google "Send to GPS" and one was from GeePeeEx Editor's "send to Favorites" function. I had previously sent these to Favorites, used them, and deleted them on the Nuvi 760. Apparently, neither importing them into Favorites nor subsequently deleting them actually removes them from the Garmin/GPX folder. After the firmware update and it's reboot, my 760 saw them as "new" files and re-imported them.
As for the voice stuttering, I had a severe stuttering problem a few weeks ago with Jill. I had not changed or updated anything in a while that might account for the change. While trouble-shooting, I removed my 4GB SD card which had lots of MP3's on it and I rebooted. The voice stuttering went away. I reinserted the SD card and rebooted, and Jill has been fine ever since. If you have an SD card in your Nuvi, you might try running without it for a day as a trial.

has anyone ran accross this, it deleated my mad maps??!! so fricken odd!!!

I have mad maps installed, and I'm thinking of updating to 4.10. So, obviously, I'm interested in the answer to this!

Got off the phone with Garmin,

they said hmm thats odd, then they tried to put it back in to my garmin page under maps and they couldnt get it to do so? after 40 minutes of trying he said that he would have to call me back or email me with a solution!
