2018.10 Shown as available

updating now

Maybe I'll see the changes in the map on our street!!!
2689LMT downloading now, and Nuvi 660 SD Card later!

I was surprised to see that the 2018.10 map included the newly opened extension to highway 100 west in Cedar Rapids. It just opened in mid December, so I was surprised to see it in this update.

Oh Darn!!! The 3 map changes in my immediate area were not part of the update....

No problems with W7-64 & GE on 2689LMT or Nuvi 660 via SSD Card (Thanks alanb!)

And installed in my 2797, all went well

Two pages already.

Downloading now. I got a message that the new map is too large for my 2495LMT and I need to install on a microSD or install a partial region map. Went with the microSD. Now I just need someone to post the large JCV file for my 1390T.

got it.

Downloaded in about 40 minutes. Easy peasy.
Got rid of one off my problems.
Which was could not do an en route without it closing down, from indoors
Wait and see if it has corrected the problem of shutting down for no reason when on the road.

Windows 10 PC ... no problems

2689 completed in about 15 minutes to device & computer

2460 in about 35 minutes to device only

3 more to go tomorrow.

I hear you, I hate the small JCV file that ones with the download on my 1390T. I wish Garmin would post the large JCV for download like before. But, Strephon came thru once again and posted the files for us.

I installed the new version, but mistakes I've noticed with the cartography are still present.

Much appreciated!

updating now

Thanks

Got the update!

updated ok , but this is January 2017 logically the map should have been called 2017.10 but for reasons unknown Garmin calls it 2018.10 lol I guess since they started out wrong they aren't smart enough to correct it or make it logical .

Already updated two devices and updating the third one. No issues on the last two updates.

Downloaded and Completed with no problems.

Updated both my 2598 and my PC with the new maps, no problems.

I have just finished updating ... no issues so far.

Dreary weather weekend so I was able to get updated. No issues.

Updates seem to be faster recently...

had it downloaded and installed yesterday.

Downloaded and installed new maps on both GPS' - 2455 and 2699. Advised brother in law to update also.

Will give it a go next weekend.

Will await for the update as usual. Let's see when it pops on my screen.

Thanks for the info. Guess I will do it over the weekend

Nice to have an update, but my 3590 device is full! Anything that I can delete to make a little place, or I'm in SD land now?

I think. Took about 1/2 hour, no issues. Will have to give it a road test now.

Must be time to start a thread about waiting for the next version then.

Will update later this week but wonder what the total size, my 3597 is running close to max.

I have an SD card installed but things seem to go faster if everything is on the main memory.

I was just thinking about the latest update. There is still a road I take that is missing the speed limit and I keep hoping a change I submit quite some time ago finally puts the speed limit in the map update.

Got it. Thanks

Updated my 2nd 2460 this morning, went a lot longer, a few hours, but I'm guessing the time of day may have affected it. Otherwise no problems. Next for the Zumo's, they always have to be split between the device and sd card so they will take longer.

When I went to do the update, I found Garmin Express not present on my machine. The directory was there, but not the program. Odd. No trouble to download and install a fresh copy.

Another thing I noticed was that my security software was consuming quite a bit of resource during some phases, such as the "activating maps" phase. I suspect I could cut my install time quite a bit if I told the security software not to be suspicious. That might not be a good idea.

I have the maps on the SD card of my 3 units (Two 255WT + 3597LMTHD) & honestly I have never noticed a difference at all in speed as compared to when the maps were on the internal memory.

I would also think that the GPS would run better & quicker with 2 GB of free space rather than just 50MB.

and installed. No problems.

I don't notice a speed difference either. On my 1390T and 2495LMT I had the maps installed on 16GB Sandisk microSD Extreme Pro 95 MB/sec memory cards. Downgrading the microSD to a Sandisk 16GB Ultra 4o MB/sec card made no difference in speed. The processors in the GPS are just not fast enough to utilize the max speed of these cards. A standard speed microSD card would probably do the same job.

Time to update three GPS

Downloaded and installed on DriveLuxe and 2557 without any trouble.

And all has gone well, at least for me.

Downloaded and installed.

Updated onegps 2018.10, one more to go.

map updated. all is well

Installed to nuvi and computer yesterday, no problems. Installed to zumo and different computer, got message that computer install did not work but device was ok. Looking on computer, it installed. Same story for the last several installs.

Thanks will update soon!

Finally showed up as available to me last night, so updated unit and computer with GE and had no problems. I know a lot of folks report having problems with GE, but for me I've had less since it came out. I have an old 1490T and sometimes wonder if older units are put at the back of the line? I only use it when on the road in strange areas, so minor delay is unlikely to have real world impact. On the rare occasion where I need Nav locally my phone works fine. Wouldn't be without my GPS when I know I'll be needing Nav a lot.

Thanks for the alert

Sorry to take so long to respond. gmapprom.img on SD card is 2,757,824kb. SD card also contains .gma and .unl files. Also JCV directory created containing one file. I checked storage on the GPS and most storage used within .system in ASR and SID directories and gmapdem and gmap3d files. Everything else is minor.

I had already removed unneeded voice files, etc. Only thing that might be considered unusual is that I have some supplemental maps installed on the SD card that have been there for at least a year.
