Garmin can keep churning out

Garmin can keep churning out as many updates as they want, or need. I only want it to work when the next map update comes out.

Given GE's track record, I'm amazed how many folks want to keep trying it. sad
As for me, they'll have to pry MapUpdater out of my cold, dead fingers before I stop using it. (Unless of course, it stops working with later releases of Garmin's maps. evil )

jgermann - Why are you accusing me of insulting? I am not insulting anyone. It's clear that you do not realize that there are three different types of 'thought' - one of which is referred to as 'logical-thinking' - with the others being 'pathological-thinking' and 'psychological-thinking'.

You may want to educate yourself before you make such an 'insulting' accusation.

It seems to me that your personal definition of "logical thinking" is only logical if it is in line with your own thinking. And that, as Mr. Spock said, "is not logical".

To make myself clearer. It is not logical that everyone get in line with your way of thinking. If you don't have anything helpful to contribute to the GARMIN EXPRESS threads, than why post remarks that belittle others?

Your remarks do look like you are looking "Down your nose" at those of us that us GE. I would call them "Personal Attacks" in your last reply.

Just because you have had problems (or maybe just one), it doesn't mean that the software is useless. Garmin is actively trying to give us software that is better than the last. I give them credit for releasing updates quickly, rather than let the users suffer, sometimes for months like some software companies, before they release another version.

All the Garmin Map Updating programs had their share of problems as well, when they first arrived. In the end they were very stable.

I expect GE to be just as stable before too long. Please just be patient.

When I read your statement, I concluded that you consider yourself to be a "logically-thinking person" because you are not using GE or trying GE. By implication, that makes anyone who uses or tries GE a person who is not capable of logically thinking.

If you disagree with this analysis or really meant something else, please let me know.

Thank you for the link.
http://www.rahul.net/raithel/otfw/threetypesofthought.html
It is very interesting and tells us something about how you and I might be described as thinking.

The link says:

Quote:

* Pathological thinking does not see itself. When it starts to see itself, it dissolves, like a witch in water. Pathological thinking is mixed with emotion, and it is the (unrecognized) emotion that directs it.

* Logical thinking works without emotion. It works by comparison, yes or no, either/or. It seeks conclusion, decision between two opposing choices. It is impartial, non-subjective. It works like a computer, composed of bits, dissecting but never understanding.

* Psychological thinking is intellect in harmony with emotion. It is aware of itself. When that awareness vanishes, so does the cooperation of thought and feeling. Thought then becomes logical, pathological, or disappears entirely.

By providing the link, you seem to be putting me into either the Pathological category.

Let's review the evidence:

Threads in which you have posted negative comments about people who use GE

Hey Guineas!

You just won't learn, will you?

Are you okay with GE always running in the background? If you say that you stop GE so it doesn't constantly run, then are you okay with 'having' to stop it?

Have you ever considered yourself to be an experiment - the equivalent of a human experimental test goat or Guinea pig...like prisoners used to be treated?

And Garmin's philosophy also is to:
(1) Leave old Garmin Express software versions behind on people's computers (that do not always allow future software version updates).
(2) Use Garmin users as Guinea Pigs to test their troubled software so numerous software version updates are issued to tweak it.
(3) Make damn sure that their software always runs on people's computers.

Wonderfully efficient and effective! What a pathetic joke!

Exactly! And why anyone would choose to use Express instead of MapUpdater is beyond common sense...

It seems to me that the vast majority of other users in these above cited threads have been downloading and using GE without problems. That may be because they are able to keep their computers free of problems that cause software packages to fail. So, logically, it would appear that you are one of the few that have not been able to get GE running correctly.

Now, I am not suggesting that you ought to use GE. You have made it very clear that you will continue to use MapUpdater. Nothing wrong with that.

However, you might want to think about the "emotions" that seem to be driving your continuing unhelpful postings about GE

Since you seem to know so much about Garmin Express

Vast majority! Yeah, right... You may want to Google Search 'problems with Garmin Express'. Lots of people have problems with GE - brand new PC or old PC. Garmin Express is junk...

Since you seem to know so much about Garmin Express, and think it is good and works just fine - do you have any idea why the constant updates, some days with multiple updates?

PS - Let me know what you think of the Google Search results...

Let me start with your thoughts on a Google search. Because a Google search will produce a number of hits asking for help on Garmin Express (GE) does not mean that one can draw a conclusion about the total number of people who have tried to use GE, and the number of people who have successfully used GE. People who use GE and have no problems are not likely to post anything on the internet about their success. Those who do have a problem may ask for help at forums like Garmin or poi-factory.

"lot of people have problems with GE", you say. By itself, such a statement has little meaning other than your opinion about GE.

I did a "study" of what our members were saying.

As I said, I went through the threads
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42300
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42087
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42148
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42121
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42034

detailing the times when you made remarks that were intended to belittle those of us who were using GE. At the same time, I was making notes on which of our members were posting negative comments (as opposed to complaining that GE "Extras" did not seem to work - meaning that that member had GE installed). If a post did not indicate that GE was being used, I did not count that poster one way or the other.

You, koot, were the major detractor with 7 or 8 other members on the negative side - one of which had to use GE because MapUpdater would not work for him.

There were over 40 members that were actively using GE (with a few complaining about "Extras" as I indicated above).

So I made the comment

Quote:

I stand by the comment

Statistically, it would appear that the "vast majority" of our memebers have gotten GE to work.

As to your question of why there are constant updates to GE, I can only guess. While I was re-reading the above cited threads, I was seeing comments about MapUpdater not working for some but GE did work. That may mean that the current computer environment is becoming less friendly to MapUpdater.

It seems clear that Garmin wants to "push" GE so rather than releases of both GE and MapUpdater, their emphasis is being placed on GE.

The updates

If anyone has been reading the newly available changelogs, all of the updates to GE seem to be concerning the Garmin fitness and golf lines and do not directly impact nuvi users.

We need to stop being so nuvi-centric concerning this program- it is for most Garmin lines and they have a lot more than just nuvi.

One Newer

There is a newer update. I updated yesterday to 3.1.6. The 3.0.12 failed to show the Extras on my Win7 system. 3.1.6 resolved that issue.

Why so many negative comments?

Generally, the only reason people post is because they have a problem, something isn't working. What about the 10's of thousands that are satisfied with their product and don't take the time to post the good stuff? Listen to the news, read the newspaper, and what is the overwhelming climate? We are a society that feeds off the negative things of life and all that influences it.

I am a SPED educator and I ask my kids everyday ... "How are you doin' today?" 7 out of 10 have something negative to reply. And through the day I am always asking "doin' OK?" Generally that is related to their studies, but often has to do with how they are feeling. Hopefully, by the end of the day the majority can go home with something positive.
