Has anyone used their Map Updater to update to the 2018.10 map?

The 2018.10 CN NA update is not available on my Garmin Map Updater v3.3.4 - only the last update (2017.30) is available.

Cartoon JCV file for nuvi 855.

The partial coverage full screen (non photo real) JCV file for the nuvi 8x5 and 14x0 is D3153230A.jcv (26,396,957 bytes). I will replace this useless file with the full coverage file that came with the nuvi 755 map update.

Thanks for the confirmation (that the new 2018.10 map is not available for you either). I suspect it will be added to MapUpdater very soon. I hope! I don't like Garmin Express - removed it years ago...

Has anyone used their Map Updater to update to the 2018.10 CN NA map?

I tested this on a clone of my nuvi 755T. Map Updater is showing the map update, but I get the dialog saying the update is available for purchase (I have a lifetime map subscription on my 755T). I know we have seen this problem on Map Updater in the past and there were some workarounds, but I don't remember what they were.

I used Garmin Express 5.1.1.0 on the same clone copy and it updated to 2018.10 with no errors.

Let us know how it goes for you with Map Updater.

I just checked 5 minutes ago and Map Updater is still NOT showing a update for me, strange I've used it for the last few updates with out problems.

MapUpdater still only shows map 2017.30 for an old nuvi 255.

Testing MapUpdater with an old nuvi 255 only shows map 2017.30 available. Maybe what MapUpdater provides is 'model specific'. Dunno.

Downloaded the new maps ....

....on all three of my units. A 350, a 3590, and a 3597. It took about 3 hours to download the maps on all three units. The 350 took about an hour and a half, the 3590 took about 1 hour and 10 minutes and the 3597 took about 20 minutes. It said that it would take about 35 minutes for the 3597 but it was quite a bit faster than that. All of this was done using GE. I had no problems whatsoever with the download.

Got it!

Updated on my Garmin DriveSmart 50LMT smoothly

Update to 3597: GE moved map from internal storage to sd card

The update downloaded on my slow connection in about 8 hours, about the same time as with recent updates.

GE advised that, due to space, the update would be installed to SD card. First time that happened. Some updates were put on internal storage and some on SD card. After the update, I noticed that there was 245mb free on internal storage. I moved the POI files from internal storage to the SD card.

All seems ok now.

MapUpdater now has the new 2018.10 map available.

Interesting. Can you tell us the filesize of the .img file on the SD card? With only 245MB of free space on the 3597 itself, most of the 2018.10 map must be installed internally with only a small portion placed on the card. My 3597 with all seven English language voices added (but foreign language voices deleted) had a couple hundred MB of free space left with the entire North America map installed internally.

If it turns out that all or most of the map update is on your SD card, then I'd worry about some unneeded ghost files taking up space on your nuvi. If all the map was installed to the SD card, I'd expect nearly 3GB of free space on yours. It'll be interesting to hear your SD .img file size.

Don't forget a Master Reset

My experience with map updates on my Zumo 550 and Zumo 665 after a map update is to do a Master Reset of your GPS. Many strange routing errors have been solved by a Master Reset. Make sure you understand what features and data will be cleared by the Master Reset.

Here's a compiled list that may or may not have to be reapplied after a Master Reset.

Safe mode
Screen brightness (auto, motorcycle and offline)
Master volume  (auto, motorcycle and offline)
Location country
Voice selection
Motorcycle and auto icons
Motorcycle fuel monitor settings
Favorites (backup before a Master Reset)
Recently Found is cleared
Satellite acquisition information must be rescanned outdoors for 10-20 minutes
Avoidances
Keyboard Layout
Map Detail & Layout
Bluetooth
Home Location
Restore Favorites
Restore Routes
Choose displayed data fields with/without route active
All maps are selected after a reset

After installing 2018.10 I have about 255 MB of free space on my 3597. Like Craig, I keep only the English voice, text and help files. I could gain another 40 MB by deleting the archived trip logs in /GPX/Archive. I have not installed a SD card in my 3597 yet, and unless Garmin adds something that causes larger than usual increases in file sizes between map releases, I think I should still be OK for another map update or two.

Incidentally, is anyone ordering a DriveSmart 51/61 now that they are shipping? If so, I wonder if it wlll come with 2017.30 or 2018.10? I will be interested to hear how well the map update over wifi works and also what the internal memory size of these units are.

Success x 3

I updated both my 255WT using Map Updater & had a download speed in the 30's MB/s.

I then updated my 3597LMTHD using Garmin Express and my download speed was a constant 4MB/s.

I used Alandb cloning method on the three units & everything went perfectly from start to finish smile

Just a friendly reminder that after having used Garmin Express you can do some internal house cleaning to save some disk space
