If you have this shutdown happen, power it up a second time, but when the bar begins progressing and Before it hangs at the halfway point, Press and Hold the power button to turn it off, interrupting the complete startup.

I use GSAK to combine and filter a weekly collection of 5 PQs, then export out a single. At least for my method of loading cache files and having this problem. I inadvertently discovered the solution to our problem of the unit shutting down at the halfway point after a large upload of cache. The same thing happens with fresh batteries and when the unit is plugged into my laptop computer with its USB cord.Īny advice on how to prevent the shutdowns? And how can I force the unit to power up in 'mass storage' mode?Īny help would greatly improve my vacation week. When I switch on the unit, it says 'Loading waypoints, tracks and routes.' The progress bar quits at half way, and the unit abruptly powers down. And, it worked fine on my last geocaching trip where I loaded caches and found them.īut this morning, when I went to load the day's waypoints in my hotel room, I'm now encountering a problem.

Last night, my Garmin GPSMap 62S worked fine in navigating me from the airport to my hotel.
