My Magellan explorist 110 on startup only shows one-half of the screen? I get half of the top and bottom is there a fix?

Defective map, must be an .imi map for Magellan Explorist Model you are using. JG

Hello,

The Explorist GC is made by Magellan.
You may want to contact Magellan support for assistance.

My recommendation would be simply to replace entire unit unless you have experience fixing electronics.

it sounds like your update didn't work, you can do a master reset, or try to download the software update again, and maybe it will fix it.

A black screen, actually purple, means that a firmware upgrade was unsuccessful. You can try to fix it by reloading the firmware, but you are most likely not going to be successful using the USB 'binary'firmware that is available.

There is some 'text' HEX firmware available on the yahoo Explorist user group. To use it though, with your USB cable, you will need to make a small circuit with 1 chip. That site shows how to do it. I am in the process of doing that for an Explorist 400 for a friend. Others have said this is the only to recover such a lost GPS. I'll keep you informed of my success when it happens. I'll probably be sending the circuit/cable I build along to other friends but could possibly fix your for you if you like.

try updating the firmware from the magellan website that fixed mine.

I want drivers for the megellan explorist 400.Please! resent this software to me quickly.


Thank for that!

Try rebooting windows, with gps off connect the cable to gps.

Go out side get a good gps signals on nav menu.

Set the gps communications menu to , nmea, 2.1

Plug the device into a good usb port.

If you look under modems, in control panel you should see a new modem called explorist xxx

If you look at the properties for that you can see its com port number.

I just tried this program http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPS/

and it views nmea from the explorist, just set the com port to the one in the explorist modem .

you are welcome , but send me detailed photo of that lcd

You want me tp pay to to fix my problem..And if i did fix it myself you want me to tell you so you can charge others??
Screw You!!!
