GARMIN deactivated My Nuvi 200w 1-sec tracklog????

Postby zuree » Thu Aug 22, 2013 10:29 pm

hi...bro,

Since 2009 my nuvi 200w is able to do 1 -sec tracking as guided by bro Jason and many time i contributed tracks to MFM. But sad now because seems like GARMIN deactivated my 200w 1 -sec tracklog special features. i also cannot select 'vehicle' although 38 car/vehicle in my nuvi 200w drive.

My nuvi 200w also cannot change language, and ALWAYS shows "software upgrade finish" messages when bootup my nuvi. i try to do hard reset many time and the problem still exist. i suspected that garmin modified and revert my 200w to original firmware and disable 1-sec tracking features and vehicle selection...via satellite?...because i never upgrade and connect my old nuvi 200w to the internet or garmin web updater...even i download and copy map using card reader.....i just want to say...

... deleted ... :x

Bro zuree, share your frustration, but please refrain from posting such expressives :tq:

Once you changed your firmware to a modified firmware, you should not update your firmware. That is probably what you did. If you can find the original firmware I pointed to you, maybe you can restore the facility.
