CN NA 2020.10

It certainly has been.

2020.10 shows as available for all of my units.
(via Garmin Express)

My (2) DriveSmart 61 - size 6.60GB ... time 3 hours

My (2) Nuvi 2460 - size 5.49GB ... time 3 hours

My Zumo 450 - size 1.28GB ... time 2 hours and 42 minutes

My zumo 550 - size 1.28GB ... time 1 hour 52 minutes

And here I was worrying about what to do indoors today on this -22 (-40 wind chill) day at 11:30 AM...

That was quick.

I think you're confused on this retirement thing. You're supposed to do winters in AZ and summers in states with freezing temps!

At least according to the Snowbird(person) Wiki.

Even worse for today's tasks, there's no mail delivery statewide so all of us waiting for a Netflix disk or two will have to wait. Tomorrow's supposed to be even worse so the disk mailed Monday may arrive on Friday if I'm lucky. Thank goodness I have multiple GPS devices to update. At least it's sunny today.

That's why I save at least 6 good movies on the cable DVR so we can watch something when the library DVDs supply that I stocked up on yesterday runs out.

Today is -4 and windy, tomorrow will be the bottom of the temps and then rising up for the weekend.

...'the Packers' chief of police cancels crime:

“With the wind chill warnings, we simply cannot have any criminals putting themselves in harm’s way at those temperatures,” Police Chief Andrew Smith told the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “Avoiding crime and criminal activities is especially important during periods of inclement weather. Also during all other times.”

Updating the Garmins will give me something to do on this cold January in Minnesota.

Thanks for the tip!

The update is installed on the nuvi and BaseCamp.

Perfect thing to be doing on this super cold day. Thank you.

Update installed with no problems.

Sussamb, Thanks for the heads up.

Updated all my Nuvis (3597, 2495 and 260) without a hitch.

Took 1.5 hours altogether.

Getting them loaded now.

Updating now. Was not even thinking about a map update yet.

about 28 minutes to install with built-in WIFI on my DS61.

What's this update it wants to do on the DS61:

Change History

Changes made from version 4.40 to 4.50:

Added support for Garmin HuntView Plus maps on Garmin DriveTrack 71 devices.

???????????????

Will wait until the full screen JCV file is available.

Waiting for it also before updating.

Easy and quick, with no issues.

Wait, what. We didn't even start a new update thread.

I know. That was the best part of it!

This is why I have 550 DVD, and Blue Ray discs.

Stay warm and safe

Wasn't expecting an update this early. Updated the 350, 3590, and 3597. No problems with updating. The 3597 was connected and I left the house for a couple of hours. Got back and it was done. Next, the 350 was done. Took about 45 minutes for it and the 3590 was done in about 25 minutes. Guess I'll have to take one of them out and see what has changed. One thing I hoped would be added was a new interstate exchange on I-71. No luck, even though Waze has it.

I think Garmin is messing with us. The last update, 2019.30 was much later than expected and now this 2020.10 update appears much earlier than expected.

And for some [unknown] reason Garmin skipped over [what could have been] 2019.40 map update. So what is the theory on that?

According to this node:

http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42417

The last ".40" update was in 2015.

Nice ,clean and quick install …..

Looks like GE did another good job!

Ah, I did not know that! Now I do! Thanks!!!

for the notification.

While a lot of you are freezing, I am not. Today should be around 88°, sunny and not a cloud in the sky.
It'll be interesting to see how long it'll take me to update two Garmins here in Mexico.

Thank you for the map info.
I couldn't afford to be a "snowbird" so I just moved to the southern part of Tennessee, gets a little chilly at times but, nothing like Chicago!

I, as well as many other people I know actually save money by not living up north in the winter.
I agree though, anywhere south in the USA is way too expensive!
As an example I pay just over $ 1.00 to have a nice cold beer served to me at a beach restaurant !
Last night I had some great chicken fajitas and 2 beers for just over $ 10.00. Cheaper than McDonalds and a way better food.

Sorry to have gone off track!

No problem 48 min counting updating GE

..and making us feel bad.

...And didn't notice any changes locally this time.

Thanks sussamb for the heads up.

Updated GE to 6.11.1.0 with no problem. Yes -- had to do the normal Settings>General and uncheck "Always keep Garmin Express running in the background" change.

Updated our 2455LTM and 2555LTM units. Took about 30 minutes each. No problems noted

One of the DS61's, updated in about 45 minutes although the app said 3 hours.

One of the 2460's updated in about 35 minutes also said about 3 hours.

No problems.

.

18 minutes for each of my 3 units, included was a Firmware update
on 2 of the units.

Updating now. Don't forget to remove the downloaded files if you no longer need them.

Holy wasted storage space Batman! I had files in there from 2014.

Thanks for that tip.

wow, we're in 2020 now!

On a Windows system check "My Documents Garmin" there may be a bunch of backup files that are a waste of space.

So according to this thread (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42417) it looks like it's been a few years since there were 4 updates/yr. Lately just 3. Perhaps in the coming years it'll be 2, then eventually once a year.

I update once a year anyways. Too much of a hassle to update several units and multiple laptops. Not to mention little change in the area.

I found it out just now by chance!

Everything all up to (Garmin) date now. All except the Zumo 550 went fine. The 550 still gives me an error message and the main unit is stuck on 2018.20, had to download entire 2020.10 map to the SD card.

Not sure what files get stored in Documents\Garmin on Windows. On my end (using Windows 10) there is only a subfolder called "Custom Waypoint Symbols" in that Garmin folder. No other files/folders in that Garmin folder. That "Custom Waypoint Symbols" subfolder only contains 7 small BMP graphic/image files.

I assume the Garmin folder is used to store saved content from BaseCamp, Mapsource, MapInstall, or similar Garmin programs as that Garmin folder is indicating a creation date of 5/10/2012.

Thanks for the update!

well this time again it told me I didn't have enough room on my sd card and check again. some times its ok some times its not so I just format it while its pluged in and click check again and it says ok and installs, oh well that's Garmin

thanks I needed that

Thanks for the info.

Early new maps, got them all downloaded and installed! Next update around July, I would think.
