Garmin (010-00583-00) for nuvi 750/760/770 Logo
Posted on Nov 21, 2008

SYSTEM SOFTWARE MISSING!! on display - the maps just needed update - now the 'missing system software' is displayed ,, I thought it was the map updates needed to be updateed so I went to the Garmin website .. I downloaded the latest System updates 420 - once the loader started it went throught the configuration then it came up with file corrupted -- now When I turn on the NUVI 770 it just displays system software missing.. and now I cannot find it as a drive attached to my computer -- like its just disappeared,, If this is how the software upgrade is supposed to work I am not pleased.. also now when I contact the Garmin website it says system dowloaded file corrupted -- or -- unable to connect to garmin website??? If this is their solution thes the Nuvi is a piece of ****!!!! I do not understand why the loader would wipe out the system software on the device.. any help would be appreciated.. thank you rc

    Same problem. The manual and Garmin website are useless. This is brand new and was a gift. I would never purchase a Garmin.

I had the same problem with my nuvi 200. I contacted Garmin via phone (toll-free number) and the tech was very helpful. He said that this happened when I was updating because the program was interrupted while the update was in process. The problem is because I needed the USB drivers for updating--don't know how they got deleted but once he sent me an email with the instructions and attached zip file to reinstall the drivers and reset machine, everything is good to go again.
