1. | What are common hardware failures of the Explorist line? |
On units that have them, the joystick seems to commonly become sticky in one or more directions, making movement in that direction difficult. There also seems to be a high failure rate of the cables. Many users are reporting USB connection problems after a few years of use that are cured by replacing the cable. | |
2. | When I turn on my unit I get a message that says "Press ENTER to configure NAND Press ESC to cancel." Either option just shuts the GPS unit off. What to do? |
To fix this enter the service function menu and select #95 as described here: http://rhamphorinkx.newmail.ru/sf.htm Following that, you will usually need to reload the basemap. See Q: 6. If service function 95 fails to banish the endless NAND loop, you will likely have to return it to Magellan for repair. | |
3. | My compass is "stuck" 180 degrees away or is inoperational. What can I do? |
Use code number 22 of the Magellan Explorist 600™ FAQ: Undocumented service functions to force a compass recalibration. | |
