Problem with smartphone pairing

Unread post by Marcin »

Hi guys!
Im sorry but I do not speak English so everything I write is translated.

The problem is that I can not pair the gpsmap with a smartphone via bluetooth, I was previously paired with garmin connect and explore and it was not a problem and now I can not.
My phone is Samsung J5
GPSMAP66S 3.10 2.5
How to solve this problem?
What could be the reason?Earlier, the bluetooth connection worked.

I have run into this before.
  • What I had to do was delete the device from Garmin Connect on the phone, and remove (forget) the device on the GPSr.
  • Be sure Garmin Connect is updated to the most recent version on your phone!
  • Reboot the GPSr, Close and then open Garmin Connect, and begin again.
