GPSmap 276Cx Firmware update

[radja]

Heb ik geprobeerd. Maar niets.

Did anyone tested further with Bluetooth? Since FW 5.1, I can observe, that the audio over Bluetooth just stops after ~100-150km. The 276Cx shows in that moment, that it is still connected. Disconncet and Reconnect of my Bluetooth headset does not help. Audio resumes after a whole reboot of the 276Cx. I never has this issue with the old firmware 4.80.

With 4.10 it stops reguarly when I was driving. Don't know now.
Haven't drive a lot lately.

Garmin replied today and said, that they received multiple reports about the bluetooth audio, which just stops after some time.
So maybe it helps, if more people report

I can t understand why Garmin do not use the Bluetooth software from the zumo xt witch is very good, not perfect, but a lot better than what they use now in the 276cx. And a device that 50% more expensive than the xumo XT.

Because that's not possible. The Zumo XT is Android based. So the Bluetooth stack comes from Android. The 276Cx is based on Garmins own plattform and uses their own Bluetooth stack.

Is er een manier om terug te gaan naar 4.80?

Yes. Put the old firmware as "GUPDATE.GCD" into the 'Garmin' folder in your internal storage.
After a reboot, the device will ask, if you wan't to make a downgrade.
Please keep in mind, that this will trigger a full reset of your settings.

Since Garmin took the old firmware allready down of their server, I uploaded it for you:

Found a new bug in 5.1 The german language 'Deutsch-Marie' does not output any sound. It just stay silent. Using 'Deutsch-Anna' or 'Deutsch-Yannick' does work and outputs sound.

Ook "Nederlands Lieke" is niet meer te horen. Andere Nederlandse werken wel.
Maar dit was juist degene die geen (ellenlange) straatnamen opnoemde.

Good catch. That's the common here. 'Deutsch-Marie' is also the language, which does not say street names.

Heb het inmiddels doorgegeven aan Garmin.com.
Ben benieuwd.
