GPSMap 60cx GPS SW problem

Hi.Can anyone help?GPS SW Version 0.00.How to Make GPS Software Work?

Not sure what you were trying to do. For the GPSmap 60cx the last software/firmware update was ver 4.0 (many years ago).
Try downloading the firmware from the Perry/Garmin archive. from here:

Then run the program after you put the GPS into the storage/interface mode and connected up a usb cable between your computer and GPS. You need a Garmin USB drivers on you computer for this to work. You can get them from the same website.
It has been a long time but I seem to recall that for the 60 series GPS firmware was updated that way and not via WebUpdater.
Garmin probably no longer offers the last old firmware to download.

I have updated both with webupdater and perry files result hut still the same.

Not sure why the GPS SW version is 0.00. It should be around 3.00s if the GPS was the older version with the SiRF III chipset. Perhaps the GPS had an error/interrupted firmware update or a GPS firmware was flashed and malfunctioned.
You can also try doing the update by just turning the GPS (and not putting it in storage and interface mode). The firmware is still available from Garmin from this website:

The instructions differ somewhat from what I told you and makes reference to an Updater files which was how the early versions of the 60 series were updated. Unfortunately I can't help you any more. It is beyond my skill level

I did some Googling and determined that the reason the GPS SW version is 0.00 is because the firmware for the Chpset is missing from the GPS. This apparently can happen on a failed upgrade or downgrade of the Chipset firmware. Garmin used a Sirf III chip on most of their 60 series GPS's but they also cheapend up an use a MediaTek chip on the last of the production run.
Unless you want to send it to Garmin for repair at a cost, You have little to lose here. They will also not return the exact unit you sent in.
If it was the Sirf III chipset the last version of the chipset firmware is available as:

You then would have to force load the chipset firmware into the GPS.
There is a procedure for this that I found online. I am going to copy it here in the event that the other page disappears.

1. Download the latest firmware file.
2. Double click the .exe and extract the files. The .exe can also be extracted with WinRAR/Winzip into the updater.exe file and the .rgn firmware file.
3. Since the unit won’t be recognized by the firmware updater on its own, use the following key combo: hold down the power button (on the top of the unit) and push the directional button in the up (“^”) position.
4. While holding those buttons down, double click on the Updater.exe file.
5. While still holding down the two buttons, make sure your GPS device is selected, and then click the “OK” button to start the firmware update.
6. During the entire firmware update process you need to hold those buttons down. Then when the update is finished, release and reboot.

I would imagine this force load proceedure will also work to update to update the other Sofware which is the operating system of the GPS.
Good Luck!!

I still have the same table as in my last picture.

Only other options left are:
1. Delete the Garmin USB Drivers from your computer and install a fresh set. Can be downloaded from Perry Site.
2. Contact Garmin. The options if they have any are going to cost you $$. May not be worth it.

I think GPS chip is faulty GSC3F/LP 7979

Try older GPS chipset file for example 2.70, and after update device with Webupdater to latest 3.00.
