2017.10 is available. Garmin, you are supposed to give use months' lead time to whine, speculate, and postulate on the release date of the new update. Instead, you have just quietly posted the update and snuck back into the background.
Thank you!
Maps
I updated and when the GPS unit booted back up, it noted maps were updated. However, when I connect it to Garmin Express, it still shows 2017.10 maps to be to be updated. Any way to verify via Settings About or other method that it was already updated? The software does show 2016.
Are in Settings, Map & Vehicle, myMaps if you have a reasonably new device
Where there's a will ... there's a way ... DriveSmart51LMT-S, DriveSmart50LMT-D, Nuvi 2508LMT-D, 1490LMT, 1310, Montana 650T, Etrex 20

2017.10 is the current map. You can confirm this on your nuvi 2597 by tapping Settings/Map&Vehicle/myMaps. Look for CN North America NT 2017.10 ALL.
[Update] You have quicker finger than me, sussamb.
Thank you, Sussamb & Craigw!
Thank you, Sussamb & Craigw! Verified it is the new map. I'd gone into Devices About rather than Vehicle My Maps you instructed but once I followed your instructions it worked.
Ha!
How about speculating on the 2018.1 release? Too early?
Garmin 205, 260W, 1450LMT, 2460LMT, HEREwego for iPhone ... all still mapping strong.
