That page sounds like what we call the engineering mode in nuvis etc. In many units, when obtaining that mode and then connecting the unit to a PC the pre-boot mode is reached for flashing via updater.exe.
I don't own a GW and no longer have easy access to one, however i'm VERY interested in this thread and surely others are too. In my case i'm still interested [in the absence of a GW] because i'm hopeful that some discoveries may be also relevant to other older Garmin units. Please keep the work going ....

Hi Neil, infact if you push the reset without a pc connected to USB it simply reset and restart.
With a pc connected you can only exit from this mode with power cycling the unit.
Note: After using a large map image it's easy to have internal memory problems.
I.E: unit reset doing a search for a city, unit said "not enough memory" when calculating a route of more than 7-800 km etc.
On the hidden diagnostic menu there are two options:
Delete user nonvol
Delete all nonvol
My question is: what's happens if i confirm to delete?
In the first i think i will clear all previous find and saved routes, but the second option?
I don't want to brick my unit...
Someone can confirm?Last edited by pharmaweb; 24th August 2013 at 01:54 PM. Reason: typo
