I recently updated the database on my GPS296. I don't keep it current but like to update it at least once a year as it's a backup but right after I updated last month they made a major change to the SFO class B so I decided to update again. This time although it says "North US/Can Aviation Data 1810" I have absolutely no aviation data shown on my map. No airports, no airspace, nothing. So I tried to reload it but now when I sign in to Flygarmin and click "Devices" I just get the spinning wheel "Loading..." icon and it never comes up. Same goes when I click on Cart. They did take my money though and sent me a confirmation email.
Any ideas?
BTW - this has nothing to do with Declutter or any other settings I pretty much tried everything on the device.
EDIT: Disregard. I plugged into my laptop and was able to get through the process although still had a few glitches as the 296 kept turning off during the update and I had to manually turn it back on.
The second snafu was that I had downloaded "North US/Can" which doesn't include California or any of the states in the southern half of the US so I had to download "United States"
I'll say this, the Garmin website s about the most confusing user site I've ever had the pleasure to get lost in.
