Just a heads up. I tried to download the firmware update and it fails. I tried twice with the same result.

Out of curiosity: Did you find out what made the update fail when you tried it the first time?

For whatever reason, the only way I can seem to update firmware on my 700i is manually - OTA update over WiFi never happens, and Garmin Express progress bar always stops at 50%, saying it's done, but doesn't actually update the GPS. I'm sure a factory reset might help, but I hate doing that. Map updates via Garmin Express seem to work ok, space willing.

Just with this version (15.20), or on previous versions as well? If previous versions also, a master reset may be in your best interest.

With all versions since I've had the unit. A reset was first on my mind, thanks for that confirmation, but it's just a big hammer and I hate setting everything up again. One of these days I'll do it, though...
