Looks

Updated smoothly

Thanks

Will be downloading now...

Vista

Since I still run Windows Vista, I am stuck at the last supported version 5.5.0.0. I will be interested to see if the new map update lets me install the map without trying to force an upgrade of Express (which of course won't work).

GE

Tried twice from GE itself. Blue line goes to within 3/4 from the end and then tells me it did not download.

Had to try two different genuine Garmin websites to get GE v.5.7.0. First one still puts out v.5.2.6.0 at 79.5 MB
Second had the new version at 80.5 MB.

Giving GE a second chance

Talk about holding a grudge. I first installed Garmin Express probably nine years ago, and like a lot of us, hated it. It didn't have many bug-free features and worse, it was always running in the background.
So for the last nine years I thumbed my nose at GE and used MapUpdater for my installs. The map installs took forever, but hey, I had my principles and stuck with MU.
But today I finally bit the bullet and installed GE 5.7 and was pleasantly surprised how nice it seems. The only thing I've looked at so far is the user interface, and as you (the other 99.9% of Factoryites) know it's, well, very user friendly. So I'm finally upto 2014 and looking forward to using the other features that I've only read about. What the hell have I been waiting for?

If, like many of us, you hated the 'always on' feature of original GE, be sure to go to settings and turn them off.

Some of the features in new GE can be hard to find, like adding extra voice files and stuff, so be sure to scroll through the offerings under each device's Tools&Content/OptionalUpdates. Each device's Store tends to offer little of interest, at least for me.

Got it!

Yeah, I saw that background running defaults to "off." That was the first thing I looked for. The rest of the stuff will be a fun learning curve.

Don't do that, rather download the file from Garmin and then install it.

I deleted last time and it took me some time to be able to get back to the current version. I had to go back a few versions and then install newer versions until I was up to date.

Download it from here: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/software/express
