That didn't go well for me at all.
I went through garmin connect to updat the firmware. It tried to do an update but wouldn't because the time zone maps (???) wouldn't update.
So I opened webupdater and then loaded the v3 update. After that, when I turn on the device, the screens says GARMIN, but turns off after about 10-15 seconds.
Of course I did this on a Friday night when tech support is closed all weekend. I guess I won't be getting any data this weekend.
Any suggestions? I've tried updating several times through the webupdater but of course I get the same results.

In the comments on my post I posted a workaround to the above problem, in short:
A) Turn off unit.
B) While holding down lower left button (Enter), plug into computer
C) After about 5 seconds, let go of Enter button
D) Within a few seconds, you should see the Garmin now show up as a drive on your computer
E) Delete anything within the Newfiles directory, it's just duplicate junk
F) Eject unit, and try turning on again
G) If that doesn't work, repeat steps A-D, then:
H) Move all Activities (in Activity Directory) temporarily off the unit to somewhere else (your hard drive), repeat for Courses as well.
I) Eject unit, try again
J) Failing all that, I'd have to recommend Garmin Support (tough on a weekend I know). But I think the above will fix it.
