had no problem with unit until i installed the new version 6180 upgrade.now i lost my waypoints,and wont load my lake maps at all now.when i try load my waypoints to my sd card it freeze up and have to restart.anyone else have this problem.thaks for any help.
There have been several reports of issues with the 6.180....
I would recommend taking the cards out of the unit and reverting back to the previous version of software to verify if your waypoints are still in the unit memory and if the mapping card will load...
You can find your previous version here...Login
If all is back to normal with previous version of software...
Export waypoints to a SD card...
Load waypoints into HBPC to verify they are there...
Delete waypoints from unit memory...
Remove mapping card from unit...
Format a separate SD card...
Download a fresh copy of 6.180 from HB or Login (do not have anything other than the software .bin file on the SD card)..
Restore factory defaults...
Power unit off...
Insert SD card with 6.180 .bin file ...
Power unit on (with card inserted)...
Follow prompts...Install - "Yes"... Abort - "No"
Allow download to complete and auto restart...
Power down unit...
Remove SD card with 6.180 .bin file...
Power on unit...
Restore factory defaults....
Reload waypoints from the SD card containing the waypoints...
Install mapping card...
Test...
6.180 seems to be very finicky ....something about waypoints.... but I don't think anyone has definitely pinned it down yet so the best advice I've been hearing is to export and delete waypoints before updating to the 6.180..
