"Updating GPS Firmware" messages on 765T

Have you tried a hard reset? If you would like to, please backup your favorites as they will be cleared. You can use MapSource to import and export you favorites.

Hard Reset on most Nuvi’s
1.- Power off the GPS
2.- Press and hold the right bottom corner
3.- Power on
4.- System asks "Do you want to erase all user data?"
5.- If you answer "yes" next screen looks like brand new device

Let us know how it goes...

My 680 does not erase the favorites when I do the reset. Just the user information is deleted. Of course I have to reset the time zone and acquire the satellite position again. I do this when I want to clear all the Bluetooth telephone information.

mine does not do what youa re saying

OK, I will try hard reset today and let you know, it it makes any difference.

Huh, I have reset my 755t with every software update and it always cleared my favorites. I just tried it again and my favorites stayed put. I wonder if Garmin altered there software install so it wouldn’t clear the favorites…hmm

In any case, backing up your favorites or anything else you like is good practice.

765T has never erased my favorites after any of the many updates......nor after resetting it each time.

I think it is Bluetooth causing this problem. I did hard reset, after reset, blutooth got disabled and no more "GPS Firmeware upgrade" messgae. Once I enabled Bluetooth, I got the same enoying message back again. AFter that I disabled Bluetooth and no more messaages. I will keep bluetooth disable for the next few days and see what happens.

I have seen this a couple of times on my 765T. I don't use Bluetooth, so that isn't the cause in my case. I am just thinking out loud here, but in my case I think I may not have had it securely seated in the cradle, as if some of the pins may not have been communicating correctly?????

Do you get the message "Updating GPS Firmware"?

the message appeared as a text screen covering the entire display area...it showed a percentage or progress, starting at 1%, and then at 2% or so, disappeared, only to return again, until I shut down, removed and replaced the 765T in the cradle and powered back up

Mine stopped doing this after I updated to the most current firmware. But I don't know if there's any differences from unit to unit.

I just sent email to Garmin Support regarding this issue and let us see what they would say.
