Garmin U.S.A. iOS iPhone App Store Update 2.11.2 Released!

 

I see Garmin has just released an update to their Garmin USA offline map application to 2.11.2 - says "We have further improved the stability of the app. Enjoy your drive!" I wonder what goodies are in store! The maps themselves are still old as the hills - 2016.10 and traffic is still a paid purchase add-on unlike the physical Garmin devices which have newer maps and free traffic with the Garmin Smartlink application. I wonder if both departments talk to each other!

Thanks for the info

Thanks

Downloaded and updated.

Newer maps would have been nice though.

Used new version on extended drive yesterday

aside from the very old maps I do have to say in fairness that the app worked flawlessly. No technical issues at all.

This is a great app

This is a great app. I use this now for general nav instead of my GPSMAP 64s. The 64s is pretty much reserved for outdoor activities.

The Garmin N. America app is really very good. I've never had a problem with it, it does whatever I needed it to do.

Highly recommended.

I think it's just a different naming convention for the map versions in the apps vs devices and the data for both is the latest.

App is now offering updated maps

Went to use it today and the maps have been updated. Took awhile to download new content but it seemed to go much smoother than in the past.

Garmin maps on app

I think it's a completely different development team/department within Garmin and they're on a totally different release cycle. This map update is the first I've seen in at least a year. Surprising that it's infrequent given immense competition from other apps like Google, Waze, MapQuest, etc.

Apps

I think mobile apps are more or less an afterthought for Garmin except (maybe) for Smartphone Link. They would rather have you buy a dedicated Garmin PND than depend on their apps. I was very disappointed when Garmin discontinued Viago which IMO had great potential for both iPhone and Android.
