Thread: Colorado 300 ( partial software after failed update from 2.90 to 3.70)

@andrus,

And when you use the tool JaVaWa Device Mgr what does it show on you unit.

Both internal and SD card????

Plus the only time you need a unlock file is when you are using genuine Garmin maps that is locked.

Openstreet type of maps do not need any unlocking file.


Post screen shots from JaVaWa Device Mgr showing your unit and the files that are in it.

The bottom line here is if your unit is so screwed up take it to a GPS outlet to get it fixed.

I would think in Estonia there must be Waypoint shops you can take the Colorado 300 too.

Spend some money on it if you really need this unit.

Try looking for Estonia forums for Garmin maybe they can help.

Jawava sees Card files and sees internal files if SDcard is removed from device, but they do not show up in list.

Yes, i'm aware, which files need unlocking which not.

Estonia got only re-sellers, and they point u to Garmin Europe RMA landing pad with repair or guarantee case.

The best support in the world!!! English is available too.

andrus, no one will fix anything. Garmin official policy is only the exchange one device to the other. Even you have spot from ink on chartplotter for 1000000000 dollars.
You can expect the only tech support.

@andrus,

I think it is time to move on.

This has gone on for a number of weeks now.

User's have tried to help you.

The Unit is broke and you do not seem to want to put any money out for a exchange of the Colorado® 300.
Or
Get a replacement new model.

It looks to me that you do not need this Colorado® 300 very much or you would of spend some money on it.

Either get a second hand one or buy a new Colorado or some other model and be done with it.

Sometimes we just have to except the facts you are not going to get it to work.

But still no maps show up, so basically u'r payd service was no use, due someone pin-pointed my fault in this very forum for free, but i had device already sent to u, sorry but i feel frauded, for u if u want buy it i'd sell it for 50€ arvi, to get my wasted money back.

P.S
One side note tough - some 600 MB of hidden software is sort of missing. Colorado used to come with 384 Mb internal memory, this unit shows 1 Gb RAM, which of 109 Mb is used by maps.

- anyways going for sale as spare parts.
