Thread: Post here please your help request regarding Garmin

When I drag the downloaded GCD to the WebUpdater, the process begins and later fails. It is unable to write anything to the Garmin.

Similarly, I cannot get ANY changes I make to the file system to stay after reboot. When I delete the gpx file, it reappears after reboot. When I delete one or more img files, they too return after reboot.

Any changes to the file system cause the system to bring up the screen calibration page upon reboot. I have to hold the power button to force a hard restart. Eventually, that will allow me to boot into the GPS but none of my intended changes have stuck.

You must have a corrupt memory ,I guess -
try to run windows checkdisk on it
