    Certainly shouldn't take 5 minutes to load, but sometimes a fw update will just stall for no reason at times with other Garmin units i've found. Aborting when it hangs like that, resetting the unit and trying again will often work. Strange you don't have a reset hole. Downgrading fw on most units will force a reset, but that's maybe not going to be possible as these units cannot be connected to a PC to use Updater.exe and flash an RGN file. AFAIK they can only have firmware flashed with GCD file on the card. It may be possible to fool it by renaming the older firmware as an higher version than the current one but that's untested on GW personally so i don't know how it would react. What version are you running now on it?

    I'm at 4.60 currently. As I stated, since I'm stuck at that point where my screen says "Loader" as indicated by the picture, nothing was ever altered and 4.60 is still active.

    Is there any way to get a different copy? That copy could be corrupted. I tried downloading it twice AND renamed it "gupdate.gcd" instead of "gupdate4.70" or whatever it was before. I think you get the point! Anyway, the file was placed on a blank memory card in the folder called "Garmin" just like the original one was at. All I can say is that my bike saw that file and attempted to open it. Obviously, nothing happened. It reached what the picture indicated immediately. No scrolling bar showing percentage done. Nothing! Just stopped!

    Umm, not sure that there's a problem with the 4.70 fw but maybe nobody else has said they can't get it to load. Unfortunately I don't have access to a 'wing to test anymore. There is another file named gupdate.gcd rared and uploaded in Post #365, but almost certainly it's the same file I downloaded and renamed correctly before attaching to our server. The hash files of the 2 files i have [gupdate(4.7).gcd and gupdate.gcd] are identical. If you got a bad download the rar should not have extracted without an error, but you could try the server file instead just in case.

    I have used the one on this site when it first came out without any problems.

    The reset is under the cover, you must remove the 5 screws holding the cover to the trunk. The reset button is accessible with a paper clip thru a hole in the top of the nav case. If you are getting the Loader message than you should not need to use the reset button .
    What memory card are you using ? I have used a 2gb and a 64mb without trouble. You might try a different memory card.

    Hello. I have an '06 Goldwing Navi that needed updating badly (2008 maps).

    I have spent the morning completing both the FW update to 4.70, as well as installing CN NorthAmerica 2103.30 -- a previously purchased map product I have on my Mac, for which I have the unlock codes.

    Installing the firmware update was a breeze, following instructions found on this board and thread.

    Installing maps is another story. As I am running a Mac, I used Garmin's MapInstall (for the Mac) to create maps and send them to a CF card attached through a card reader via USB. I used the unlocked CN 2013.30 map set mentioned already. All seemed to go well. Three files were loaded onto the card: the map .img file, a .gma file, which I assume contains the unlock code, both in the GARMIN folder. A third file, an id.txt file, is not in the GARMIN folder but in the root directory along with the GARMIN folder. The contents of the id.txt file seemed unrelated to the .gma file.

    When starting the bike, the maps loaded to 100% and then the message "Maps are locked" (or something like that) appeared. I tried creating new maps two more times, with the same result. Finally, i resorted to unlocking the maps using a utility (gimgunlock) I found elsewhere on this board. This worked like a charm.

    Although I don't have the latest map set, it sure is a lot newer than what I had originally. But does anyone have any idea why MapInstall won't create unlocked maps on the card? I found this quite frustrating since I "own" an unlock code for this product already.
    Thanks for reading through this!

    Ron

    G'day gto49, welcome to GPSPower.

    You haven't actually stated the history of the gmap version map's use and which unit it's unlock codes are for. You can only 'own' an unlock code for one unit. The two possible scenarios:

    • If the computer installed map was not purchased for the GW Navi and it has been unlocked for another Garmin unit then it won't be made available to any other unit even though it can be sent to a media card. That's because the unlock and gma codes are exclusively for the previous unit and so the map will not work if the card's used in a different unit.
    • If however you did unlock it in BaseCamp/MapInstall specifically for the GW Navi's UID then this may indicate that Garmin has tightened up control of using any other maps apart from those they supply on CF cards together with the firmware updates, completely regardless of the other maps being purchased legally. I think that's an unlikely possibility because of their legal responsibility to prominently warn of any such restriction, but if that's the case you may have grounds for a refund despite the length of time since purchase.

    Thanks for the reply Neil, and for the welcome. I've done lots of reading here... so I thank everyone for contributing.

    It's been so long since I used the maps I have (with Mapsource on an old Intel Windows box I haven't turned on in years, but still hang on to, just in case I need something), I'd forgotten about the restriction on the lock codes -- for one particular unit only as you said, and of course, it's not for the GW's navi system. Which of course, explains my situation to a 'T.' Fortunately, I was able to find a way to unlock the maps here on this forum, so I'm ahead of the game now.

    Thanks again for the memory lesson.

    Ron

    No worries Ron, i thought that was probably the case [and hoping so, because the 2nd scenario wasn't a good one, lol]. No need to thank me for the memory lession, it's a bl**dy wonder i remembered at all.

    You may be able to return the favour and test something for me. I don't have access to a GW so i'm unable to test a theory. On nuvi and similar units it's possible to have two different maps covering the same area but only one selected to use for navigation. However the POIs from both maps then will appear on the screen and therefore it's possible to select a poi from the deselected map and navigate to it on the active map. 'Unofficial' unlocked maps on GW Navi CF cannot be searched by POI because the keyboard greys out as you'd be aware from your reading. My theory is that perhaps having an 'official' map on the card with the unlocked map may just overcome this and allow search of a poi on the official map to then navigate to on the unlocked map.

    If you're prepared to test, you'll need to combine a recent NT unlocked map with the old non-NT map which was on the CF card [hope you did a backup]. If you have gmap versions of both you can do that with MapInstall and select smaller areas only where you are [MB = Manitoba, maybe?] to send to a small CF card. If you have to combine the full images with [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] then you'll need a 4GB card. My StreetPilot 2610 needs to have one deselected manually, GW navi is loosely based on SP2610 so you'll probably have to uncheck the non-NT before testing.

    If you're able to help but need some more assistance let me know.

    Sure Neil, I'm willing to experiment with the Wing's navi system. (I'm done with fighting with Garmin to get up-to-date maps on a more frequent basis and at a lower cost. Up here in Canada, they are charging $115 CAN +shipping for a 2013.40 map set & FW update. I have other issues with Garmin too, but that's another story.)

    As I explained in the other thread (in reply to your post), I found the GW had trouble loading the 2015.10 map even though it seemed to load without any warnings. There was no street level detail no matter how much I zoomed in. I didn't try to locate any POIs though... I just reverted back to the old card. And yes and no on the backup... I kept my original card and used another 2GB card I had to update my FW to 4.70 and maps to the 2013.30 set I had already on my iMac (with an unlock code for another unit).

    But that map is over a year old already and would like to get a newer one... thus the 2015.10 IMG unlocked trial, which didn't work because of the size (I'm assuming... 2.33 GB on a 4GB card).
