GO 6000 not starting

tim123oxford · May 2020

After updating the map on my 6000 it won't start, the line at the bottom goes half way then stops. When plugged into the computer there is an image of a computer & device with the cable between broken & a X on the screen of he devic I have tried a drumroll reset several times but no good. Any help would be appreciated.
If the device is dead I'm thinking of buying a GO Premium can anyone advise me if the Premium is any faster than the GO 6000. Thanks in advance

Yes the NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices have a faster processor

Hi YamFazMan, thanks for the reply. I tried the restore several times but after the restore said 100% the device restarted only 50% then the restore started again. So going to give up & have ordered a NAV 5 device. Thanks for your help.

Hi @tim123oxford

When you get the new unit and its is set up can I suggest that before you update it that as it will come with only 1 map loaded that you download a small map, say Venezuela, which will be added to your internal memory. Leave the map lying there so should you ever have a problem when updating your main map you can still start the device which you cannot do if you lose the only map.
