Garmin Map update

Is 2015.10 out yet?

Did you get it through Garmin Express?

I'm using Garmin Express and that update is not offered to me. Still on 2014.40 here!

Same here....No update with Web Updater either.

Yes! Both for my 2545LM and my ancient 760.

Do you have lifetime updates?

Sure do.

The 765T with Lifetime updates.

I know I said back there that I'd updated my 760 as well as my newer 2545, and indeed I did, but I've only just noticed that it only updated the 760 to 2014.40, and if I check for updates it says it's up to date.

Maybe they've added features to the 2015 maps that aren't supported by the firmware on older no longer supported models such as 760 series?

Problem solved ...

I've just seen on one of the Garmin forums that two versions of the maps are produced depending on the vintage of the devices .. a Unicode (NTU) version for the newer models and a non-Unicode version (NT) for the older ones. Apparently for some bizarre reason they're now not going to release a NT version four times a year, only twice a year, so you should get an update to 2015.20 when it comes out.

Very useful info Alun, thanks. (Got a link?)

I'll be sticking with my Nuvi760 and I won't even consider buying a new satnav until there is full support for eircodes.

Is there anything new in this one for Ireland, that makes it worthwhile getting.

The big Headford Road junction in Galway (that replaced a roundabout) is in it now

I downloaded my map update and now I have no maps whatsoever???????

Any one any ideas what I am supposed to do?

I contacted Garmin support last Friday by e-mail and still waiting for a reply.

I am going away tomorrow and need to use my garmin in the UK at the weekend

Try use the free openstreetmaps, see earlier in this thread?

You could try an app on a smartphone, such as OSMAND on android. It gives turn by turn offline directions, but getting the voice to work is a bit tricky.

Try factory resets etc?
Try updating the firmware, see the link earlier in this post.

Thanks for that, but I do not have an SD card at present.

All the maps showup in mygarmin, but they do not show up in maps in the unit, so I cannot even tick or untick a box.

I have tried downloading with all firewalls off, still to no avail,

whats more annoying is that garmin have still not contacted me from last Friday.

anyone any ideas what the problem might be?

If you don't have an SD Card the problem might be memory related. Get yourself a 4GB SD Card and try again.

What is the model number of your Garmin Unit?

I would phone Garmin and stay on the line for an hour+ if necessary, until you get direct support.

Sign up here www.keepcalling.com and top up with €10.00 (your credit never expires)
That will give you 1666 minutes to a regular UK landline (If you have free calls to an Irish 01 Landline number on your package (or use the app))
I highly recommend keepcalling. (Use my referral code 32H5B1 If you want to thank me)

Try here for Garmin regular UK landlines (local numbers)

This UK Freephone# is charged as a local number: 0044 80823 80000 (Tested & Working)

If you have success with any of the above, please report back here.

We bought a Garmin In the US with American maps. I was under the illusion that it's possible to add maps to a sat nav. Now when I go on their website I can only see "updates" and no new maps. The Europe update says it's only for a device that came loaded with maps for the same area.

So does that mean I have to buy a Garmin with European maps and the american one is no good to me here??

Thanks, if I go the Garmin route though, do you mean I can download one of the maps that they say are not for my unit?
I cannot find the GPS FAQ in the GPS forum or boards . Would you have a link please?
I went to Maps->Map Update -> Purchase an update -> Lifetime Map updates -> Other Regions -> Europe
However, at https://buy.garmin.com/en-IE/GB/prod33380.html it says:

This product only can be used to update the preloaded maps that came installed on your device. For example, a device preloaded with North America maps cannot be updated with nüMaps Lifetime Europe, and vice versa.

Do you mean I can disregard this and download it, or that they have a different map for this purpose? Their website is a pain to navigate.

Anyone else looking for the answer to that question, I got map from here:
https://buy.garmin.com/en-IE/GB/prod6299.html?cID=253?pID=6299

Had to mail them directly and they replied with the relevant links... eventually. Also, can be found by searching for mapsource. The main garmin site didn't work for me to locate these maps, it either comes up with 404 error or brings you to updates or walking maps.

My Garmin 265 just updated the maps to 2015.40, had to update Garmin express first

Hi, I'm having awful problems updating my Garmin 50LM with Lifetime maps update (All of Europe). Im using a 6gb sd card in it and now its telling me there is not enough space to install maps. Surely 6gb is enough? Can i put some maps on the SD card and the rest on the device or does it all have to be in 1 place? I need all of Europe as I live between regions!

Yes its a scan disk 6gb card. I think i got it free from vodafone a long time back!!

Ive never had problems before with map updates, ive re formatted it FAT 32 and its updating now, but im not sure what maps its updating.

It told me "Full Europe", but we will see.

My Nuvi won't install this 2019 version.

It should install the next version, as older SatNavs seem to only update with every second map update.

Please post here when 2019.20 is relased.
