Guy started loading latest firmware to a Quest2, it stopped after
software erase.

Now the Quest2 starts and displays "System Software Missing" and then
shuts down.

Owner has rightly paniced and asked for my assistance - anyone
experienced similar or have a work around to get the firmware loaded
etc

Thanks

On a slightly different note I have had problems wit the latest

software version 2.50 for the Quest 2

1. Slow to acquire satellites

2. Map refresh agonizingly slow. Map will scroll but leave blank
spaces before refreshing

3. Map pointer slow to indicate new direction after making a turn.
Sometimes stuck in one place for20 t0 30 seconds then suddenly
refreshing.

After reinstalling version 2.40 unit is back to normal.
