Platinum firmware update?

0 Points
I have an old Meridian Platinum that I used to use for geocaching years ago. I used it this year for elk hunting and up in the mtns it would not acquire satellites. I was in some trees so I moved out into a burn area where it was wide open and after 30 minutes of waiting gave up. When I was on the other side of the mtn range down low it took 10 minutes or more but finally got satellites.
Do I need to update my firmware since its so old? I was just on the Magellan site and could not find anything about the Meridian so now what?

Follow the directions exactly or you will mess your unit up.
Take your time, I actually just wired a RS232 directly to my unit because it wanted comm port 1, and I could find no way to change that. If you get the book that shows the pinout, just make sure you have power supplied to the unit, again I just used clip leads to get power because I had the unit disassembled to allow the upgrade.
