Is map-update server really down?

 

Or is it just me?
Had been getting a "site is down for maintenance" for quite some time now, when trying to update maps.

Updating how?

What are you using to try to update maps:

myGarmin
Garmin Express
Lifetime Updater
GarminMapUpdater

I suggest trying GarminMapUpdater (copy and paste the link below to your browser):

The current City Navigator NA map is 2013.40. What map do you have now? The new 2014.10 map may be available in the next 3-4 weeks.

Have tried 2 methods

Thanks for your reply, Craig.
First used my favourite, the GarminMapUpdater. After it had failed, have tried Garmin Express. Both reach the same conclusion - "Update Server is not Available".
The map I am trying to download is the current version of CN Israel NT. I wonder, whether this is a specific area problem, and if maps for other areas do get downloaded.

Ah

Ah, that does change things. You may be right. My suggestion is to call or email Customer Support and see if they have a status report.

Have you successfully done a map update before for the Israel map? If not, even though this is an old link, the "Comments" section may offer something for you:

Working for me.

Just tried Garmin map download and it is working for me.
