I connected my Nuvi 1490T to "My Dashboard" tonight and it said that a software update was available. The site identified the unit OK but has been trying to establish communications with the Nuvi for 10 minutes now with no success. I tried Web updater and that said that my software is up-to-date. Anyone any ideas or should I try again tomorrow.

1490T only
The problem only effects my 1490T, my other units, 265W and the trusty 260 are identified and update OK through My Dashboard. I used My Dashboard 7 days ago with no problems.

Dashboard update
I had the same problem a couple days ago with a new GPS unit i just received, i never had trouble with the old one going through dashboard so I used the web updater to update all the software and it worked great.
I have the same issue with my 295W
My Dashboard says there is a software update available for the 295W, but never makes a connection with the server... I haven't downloaded my one free map upgrade yet, so I was hoping it would do the software at the same time, as it did for my 1490LMT...
no matter where you go, `dere you is...
I used the WebUpdater...
and it said I didn't need a firmware update... I'm good to go...

Go figure..
Went back onto the Garmin site this morning using My Dashboard and everything went just fine.
Maybe an overloaded server at there end last night. This has been the first time I have had any trouble using "My Garmin", lets hope it is not a sign of things to come.

A couple of times I've updated my 755 and 255 and it says complete and then when I check it it doesn't register the change so I have to do it again. I follow al the steps and the unit reboots on its on so ??????

Likewise... back on track. Probably a little glitch at their end.

Same Issue
I had the same difficulty trying to use MyDashboard several weeks ago. I sent an email to garmin asking if the website was down. They replied negative. A couple of days later all was OK.

Garmin were prompt
Yes, I fired of an e mail to Garmin and got this reply,
We will be happy to help you with this issue. Please verify if the unit is at 4.90
Power your Nuvi on
Touch Tools (or wrench icon) on the main menu screen Touch Settings Touch System Touch About Your nuvi's current software version will be listed on this page.
We have had some issues with the dashboard. If you go to the desktop on your computer under Mycomputer does the computer see the unit it will be under devises with removable storage.
As I posted above I was completely successful the next day and at least Garmin replied to my query promptly. they seem to know that My dashboard is giving them problems.
