How to Re-Programe a Coxmate GPS
There are 2 folders in the Linked file.

Installing Programming Software
· Open the ProductTool_V5.41 folder and click on the Setup.exe. Follow prompts to install
Re-programming the GPS Unit
- Connect the CoxmateGPS to the PC via USB lead.
- In programme list, find folder titled ‘Media Player Product Tool V5.41’
- Open folder and click on ‘Mass Product Tool’ to start programming application.
- Once the application has started, click Import Firmware
- Select the new file, from where ever you saved the application file (.fwu suffix).
- Select Replace and Confirm
- Click Cancel on the Import DRM File dialog box
- Connect the device to the PC, and it should eventually display “Found total 1 usb device: 1 disks. 0 ADFU” at the top of the screen.
- Click download, and the program updating should start. After some time the SportsGPS will go from Upgrading, to Loading and then finally to USB connected. You should then be able to disconnect from the USB port and test the new software.
- If programming does not start, Hold both buttons down on GPS for 5 seconds, then release the button on front(just below screen) whilst continuing to hold down the other button (the On/Off button on the side) for another 5 seconds. The ‘download’ icon should turn a green/blue colour. Click on ‘download’.

My coxmate GPS locks with black screen after approx 15 minutes rowing. Then I have to press the orange button on the front and move the screen slider to “unlock”.
How can I get the unit operating during my complete rowing session of approx 90 minutes.
Fred, I have read the manual https://www.coxmate.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/CoxmateGPS-manual-050617.pdf
And it appears there is no planned feature like this! May I ask, have you got the most recent version of the firmware installed?
Is it in warranty?
Please check software first and if it does not resolve, get in touch with us to check it for warranty failure.
Hi Rebecca,
Since I have only acces to Mac’s, is it possible to upgrade the coxmate GPS with a Mac? For example with a manual procedure?
Greetings from the Netherlands,
PS: How can I get an account to sign on?
Dear Jan van Bekkum
Im am not aware of any issues upgrading the GPS firmware with a Mac. Let me confirm with Coxmate in Australia.
Regards
Gary
