MapUpdater v. It says that This is either a temporary glitch or is the beginning of the end for GMU, at least v 3. At least for the PC, v3. My thoughts too! I'm hoping that Garmin just hasn't setup MapUpdater for downloading this new map yet. Or, Garmin has a newer version for MapUpdater that just isn't available yet. Personally, I hope Garmin doesn't do away with MapUpdater because I would much prefer to continue using MapUpdater over Express.

My guess is that GMU will soon offer the new map update. I base this upon Garmin's fairly recent FAQ stating that Garmin Express won't work on older Windows XP machines and they they need to used GarminMapUpdater instead. Either GMU will offer the new map soon or Garmin is writing off map updates for anyone still using Windows XP. Updated with Garmin Express on and , no issues. Tried Mapupdater V3.

I did try it on my 3 4 90 the successor to the which comes with the smaller DEM but I don't recall seeing much if any difference on that particular unit other than taking up ~2x the storage space. Thanks Sergzak for refreshing our memories on the difference between the two files and confirming that I most likely never had it on my It is a feature I don't rely on very much most of Iowa is flat as a pancake!

Just updated with Garmin Express. No problems. They finally have the update speed limits in Wisconsin. That's not good! Thanks for the heads up. I have no interest in ever using Garmin Express What things did Garmin Express install that you decided to delete? I prefer Map Updater too, but switched to Express a few map versions ago when Map Updater no longer handled the GMAPDEM. IMG file correctly on the As I remember though, Map Updater also installed other device updates whether you wanted them or not. So I am curious. What things were installed by Express that would not have been installed by Map Updater. After 3 map updates, this update FINALLY HAS all of the changes I have made that are currently published on Here.

This is so exciting!! The took about 1 hour for it to download the NE US section of the map. My took the better part of 6 hours to complete. But, everything went smoothly. Will take it out this AM to see if everything is working the way it should. Yeah, remember when a Then then Then bps ISDN was just radical. terms privacy contact Copyright © Log In Sign Up.
