Over past few days I’ve been updating Garmin software and ActiveCaptain software.
1) After the Garmin software updates completed (with my boat in its covered all metal slip) I found my AIS 800 was no longer receiving and displaying AIS targets on my Chart Plotters. Prior to the updates my AIS 800 was working without issues and displaying all AIS targets in my area. I mentioned this to RT and was told all should be well once I got from under the slip’s metal coverings. Was also asked if there was a “?” on my boat's icon on the 7612’s display. Yes, the “?” shows very briefly at first when the Chart plotter is powered up and then the "?" disappears promptly. I suspect when I next go out which will be over next few days I’m hoping the AIS starts working again as it should be seeing/discovering the satellites etc.
2) All the Garmin software updates were successful except for the VHF 210 AIS unit which indicated "Error". I performed the software updates 3 times and the same error persisted. What can I do to resolve this ? It seems the existing software version is 4.10 and the software update is for 4.20. This Garmin VHF 210 AIS is presumably my boat's radio, right, and has the built-in AIS Receiver ?
Could this error be associated with the Command Bridge's VHF radio not being powered up, although I'm certain it was ?
3) I have three 7612s (in cabin 7612xsv, 7612 and 7612 on Command Bridge). When an update is completed at 100% the 2nd 7612 (to left of my 7612xsv) displays “Network Updates In Progress”. At this time the 7612xsv unit is displaying 100% complete and to “Restart”. I’m confused here as at the start of the software updates there’s clear warning that no device be powered off during the updates. My question is: does the “Network Updates In Progress” on the 7612 to left of my 7612xsv mean software
is still being updated and I should refrain from Restarting ? I waited a full hour and the "Network Updates In Progress” persisted. So in the end I did Restart. Am I doing the Restart correctly and should I simply ignore the "Network Updates In Progress”” and Restart as the 7612xsv resquests ?
I understand that when making software updates all Garmin devices should be powered ON and this includes the VHF radio(s).
