Garmin Express 3.2.13 Released - You may like this one!

DOS 3.1 still works too. Oh I doubt you are using it because you upgraded years ago even though it wasn't broke.

Thanks for the update. That's good news indeed.

Updated Garmin Express. Updated firmware and map on the nuvi 3597. It was uneventful.

I'm going to give this one a shot. Hopefully my use is as uneventful.

DL'ed, looks like the latest is now 3.2.16.

Isn't a successful installation an event?

I find that second item quite interesting in that Garmin is officially acknowledging the existance and use of Garmin Map Updater for certain devices. It gives me some hope that Garmin will keep Map Updater compatible with future map updates. It will be interesting to see if they release a new version of Map Updater for the 2015.20 map.

Will check it out. Thanks

I'll wait a while and try it when it is time to install the next map update.

Garmin Express Version 3.2.16.0 installed. No problem.

Just an FYI to all ... its not all peaches and cream with this update.

With the 3.2.13.0 download GE stopped seeing any of the 6 GPSs I regularly connect to my laptop. Uninstalling and re-installing GE did not fix the problem. Re-installing the Plug-in did not help. Uninstalling and installing 3.2.16.0 has not fixed the problem. No time right now to figure out what the problem is but just thought I'd throw this problem out there so others are aware of it.

The laptop is running Win 7, 64 bit. I can see every GPS in all other programs, ie Explorer, MapSource, BaseCamp, MapUpdater, etc. One day maybe next week I'll have some time to figure it out.

BTW, BaseCamp updated my zumo 665 firmware from v3.00 to v3.10 today. I wasn't aware it would or even could do that.

This utility was mentioned here as a solution to a lot of Garmin Express problems. It might fix yours. I tried it, and then did a clean re-install of Garmin Expres and it fixed a lot of GE glitches and hiccups on my XP laptop.

I used the most aggressive option it offers and had no problems.

just installed, don't know what the changes are

I have nothing going with my Garmin at the moment. I thing that i'll wait a while longer.

Try removing each of your GPS from GE, then reintroduce each one. Shut down GE and reboot Windows after removing the units.

If an old DOS provided all the functionality I needed and a new version took away some of that functionality, I'd keep the old DOS. Garmin hardware and the old software supports waypoint categorization, basecamp does not. That's something I use.

Btw, I'm using Windows 8.1 because it offers more useful features for me than prior versions. I would not fault anyone else for wishing to stay with Windows 7 if it suits their needs.

This installed automatically. No problems, but I have never had any problems with GE.

Thanks for the reminder Williston,

Revo Uninstaller did the trick. It brought up all kinds of leftover junk from previous versions that I deleted. Then did a fresh download and install.

I had previously tried removing the GPSs with no success. Revo Uninstaller did the trick.

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up - Will check it out

Notes from Garmin site:
Garmin began rolling out Garmin Express v3.2.17.0 for the PC today. If you would like to upgrade to the latest version, on the Settings page within the Express application. This version includes the following changes:

• Improve syncing for fitness devices, especially FR 310XT and FR 910XT
• Improve some of the Polish strings and language listing in Express
• Improve the user experience when users update a device that does not have enough space for a full map update
• Fix an issue where files were not restored properly after being backed up to the computer in order to complete a software update

thanks - i need that

On my laptop, the finger was being pointed at XP as the source of the problems I was seeing with pop-up errors & messages, install failures, and misc. other gremlins. After using Revo to clean it out and off, my last map update using Garmin Express went from start to finish with no drama at all. The current version I have (latest) was installed fresh again after a Revo nuke. If Garmin comes out with a new version of GE before the Map Update arrives, I will do the same.

Update: I see in an entry above that GE v.17 is now available. I'll wait until the map arrives for download and if it's still the newest version, I'll do the Revo wipe and re-install.

the one on the dnld page is still 3.2.16.0
u must install that and update via settings as of right now.

If you update by using GE, you will see v3.2.17.0 is available.

Hint: Click on the little "Gear" like icon in the upper right corner of GE.

Thanks for the heads up.
