Firmware = software in this case. I was just wondering what software version the Dakota was running, but no need to know since it's working. On my Oregon you find it by going to Setup > About (scroll all the way to the bottom). Excellent. Firmware = software in this case.

Either taking out the card & putting it back in or ~ (I think) it seems "Dad" didn't have the card "clicked" in all the way. We are back in business. We are so thankful for you takin' care of idiots like us ~ YOU ROCK! By the way...when you asked "what firmware version it is running?" Did you mean the brand of SD card or what? Like I said we're idiots! I will say in the meantime Dad had already got a hold of Garmin ~ on the phone even ~ & they were willing to fix it or replace it! Another reason we love Garmin!

If so, and it's the topo maps causing a problem, you could go in and remove the gmapsupp.img file. Or if the maps were put on a microSD card, just pull the card and see if that fixes it. Also, can you tell us what firmware version it is running? Those are the places I would start. You might also check BaseCamp for updates. Does the device show up in mass storage mode?
