I have it from the highest source available that Garmin will not release the next map update before they release it.
Do birds and bees worry about when Garmin will release it? I think not. It's not for us to know. We should always be prepared, ready to meet the next update.

...however, it is also possible that it will be in October. Or...November. Or maybe...even December. No one knows. Only the good folks at Garmin. It may be a Christmas present this year and they will roll it out on Dec. 24th. (On second thought, that won't happen. The 24th is on a Saturday this year.)

Does anyone have issue with entering a location where a specific address number like 300 Big Street but only show available location as 290 Big Street etc? Sometimes I rely on the exact location esp to know which lane I should be on and if the location is on the right or left side.
AFAIK, Garmin has not even released the CN Europe 2017.20 yet, so i would not expect CN NA 2017.30 any time soon. My guess is first part of Oct. at the earliest. But then, this is Garmin, so who knows what they will do!
There is a looming problem with CN Europe that could be causing the delay on 2017.20. The CN Europe 2017.10 map file was just under 4 GB in size, so there is the possibility that 2017.20 is larger than 4 GB. We know that NO Garmin devices can handle that since they are FAT32 based storage systems. This was discussed briefly over on the Garmin forum, and it was acknowledged by the Garmin developers as a potential problem. But no indication was given about what solutions (if any) Garmin may be considering.

Apparently a problem with some devices and the CN NA 2017.20 map, probably why the 2017.30 map isn't out yet.

why do they date the maps 2017 it doesn't make any sense in feb to call a map to call a map 2018 why don't they call a map 2016 when it is 2016, when roads change in 2016 update the 2016 map when a new year starts date the map to that year !
But EU 2017.10 came out about the same time as NA 2017.20, as there was a EU 2016.30. Not sure why after years of us being roughly in step we're now out, we should get 2017.20 at about the time you get 2017.30
Why that's so maybe even Garmin don't know, probably just a mistake by a clerk somewhere

But EU 2017.10 came out about the same time as NA 2017.20, as there was a EU 2016.30.
Europe CN 2017.10 came out on April 6, CN NA 2017.20 came out on May 16, almost 6 weeks later, so it seems to me the Europe 2017.20 is overdue. It makes me wonder if Garmin is moving toward 2 updates per year. Or perhaps the Europe delay is because of the possible map file size issue I mentioned in the earlier post. Time will tell I guess.
It was earlier than expected, and there was a late NA map which threw the US updates for a bit, can't recall which one. Be surprised if Garmin move to 2 updates a year, not long since they moved to 3 but they sure have confused it by changing the numbering system!
Size is certainly likely to be an issue, if not this update then certainly the next, but my guess is you're right and it'll be interesting to see how they deal with it. Could allow those with the full EU map to choose what parts they don't want or split the file into two and have Express load 2 map files.

My prediction is the new map update, 2017.30, will be sometime this month, September.
It is quite possible...
