Firmware Deleted

[AussieKen]

Hi guys, I accidentally turned off the Zumo while updating the firmware and the maps and now it won't start. I have downloaded firmware 3.5 as an exe file. Newer versions require Garmin software to do the install, which is usually an upgrade. How do I install it on the Zumo as windows doesn't recognise the zumo? Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Ken

How to Reset the Garmin zumo 660 and zumo 665 series to factory default settings

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0td7d4BH9A

GPS City will show you how to RESET your Garmin zumo 660 and zumo 665 GPS back to factory default settings. Back up all wanted GPS data as a precaution before starting.

With the GPS unit off, press the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Turn the unit on while maintaining pressure in the bottom right corner. When you see a prompt asking, "Do you really want to erase all user data?", you can release your finger and select yes.

Problems that may be solved by resetting the GPS;
-My nuvi will not track satellites!
-Forgot what settings were changed and need to restart.
-My Bluetooth will not connect.
-The nuvi will not connect to my computer.
...

Also it is best to perform a firmware update using Garmin WebUpdater. This too sometimes fixes problems you see with your GPS.

My battery went flat ant the unit switched off during an update and I had to send it back under warranty for replacement.
