Good luck, to all of you who, like me, still use Garmin GPS instead of telephone or the Connected App. Total elapsed time - about 2 hours, including the reboots and using MapInstall. With the size of the mapfiles today, you can easily run out of space on the SD card, and even easier on the internal memory card.īTW, I updated Garmin Express on 3 different computers and maps/software on 3 different GPS units (NAVA V, Montana 660, Nuvi 2539LMT). Other observations made over the years: If installing in internal memory, GARMIN Express usually cleans up the old map files. The third file with today's date and with a name consisting of a lot numbers is used for the update, and can also be safely deleted once the update has installed correctly). ![]() There should only be 3 files in that folder, (you actually only need two files, both with 2024.1 in the file name. Look in your GARMIN/GPX folder(s) and delete all files that don't have today's date. I know there is probably a stand-alone version of Mapinstall, but I've had much better luck with Basecamp/Mapinstall to put the maps where I want them.Ĥ) After successfully installing your map update, check the settings in your Garmin and be sure that 2024.1 is the version enabled.ĥ) Once you're sure that the install is good, open up File Manager and delete all the old maps that may be cluttering up your internal memory or your SD card. There may also be a software update (not map update) for some models of Garmin GPS.ġ) Reboot your computer to give it a chance to finish any updates that may be "hung" in never-neverland and to flush some of the buffers.Ģ) If running Windows 10 or 11, run Garmin Express in the Administrator modeģ) If you're having problems installing the maps directly to your GPS, install the maps to your PC, then use the MAPINSTALL option from Basecamp to install the updated maps to your GPS unit. On units after the Oregon 450s, you proably wont see much difference. So, Using an external USB 2.0 card reader instead of the internal slot on the units below the OR 450s may transfer up 23 times faster. The Oregon 450 and later have USB 2.0 spec ports, which max out at about 280 Mbit/s. New updates out there for Garmin Express (new version is 7.16.2.0). Transfers will max out on that spec to about 12 Mbit/s. If you want to view all content, you must register for the forum if you are not a member, or if a member, you must be logged in.
