Garmin Oregon 200 Troubleshooting
I just loaded a new gpx and map onto my oregon, and now when I turn it on, it starts to go through the loading process, until it says "loading waypoints, tracks and routes", when it just turns itself off. Any ideas? I can't really take it to Garmin, because I'm traveling with it tomorrow.

Re: Garmin Oregon 200 Troubleshooting
could it be that the PQ is too big for the O200?
this one has good information in general:

Re: Garmin Oregon 200 Troubleshooting
I have a 550 and when I updated the software some time ago it caused an error which shut it down - a new update was released which apparently addressed the problem.
Could possibly be a similar case for you?? Good luck!

When I connect it up to the computer it doesn't even show up!
Re: Garmin Oregon 200 Troubleshooting
Eek... You are now outside the realms of my troubleshooting ability! No doubt someone wiser will weigh in with a comment!

Thanks for the help anyway.

I get the odd freeze on startup. Usually after loading a new gpx. Remove the batteries for a few seconds and then replace and restart.

I get that too. When it does come back up, I often find the GPX was corrupt.squalid wrote:I get the odd freeze on startup. Usually after loading a new gpx. Remove the batteries for a few seconds and then replace and restart.

Re: Garmin Oregon 200 Troubleshooting
Thanks, and I've got it sorted. How can you tell which gpx was corrupted? And is it just solved by downloading it again off the GCA/GC website?

Re: Garmin Oregon 200 Troubleshooting
I think the load of the GPX gets corrupted by the GPS when it crashes, rather than the original GPX being corrupt.
