![]() In some instances, your Garmin product might not have sufficient memory remaining for you to load an update to the map data, in which case you will need to either (a) select reduced map data coverage for your updates, or (b) purchase separately a microSD™/SD™ card (if and as applicable to your Garmin product) and load all or a portion of the map data coverage for your updates to the card and insert the card into the microSD/SD card slot contained in your Garmin product. Unless otherwise stated, the updates you receive under the subscription will be updates to the same geographic area included with your Garmin product when originally purchased. A product will be deemed to be out of service and its useful life to be ended if no updates have been downloaded for such product for a period of 24 months or more. A product’s “useful life” means the period during which the product (a) has sufficient memory capacity and other required technical capabilities to utilize current map data and (b) is capable of operating as intended without major repairs. ![]() If you purchase a nüMaps Lifetime subscription (sold separately) or if your Garmin product comes bundled with a nüMaps Lifetime or other lifetime map subscription, you will receive map data updates when and as such updates are made available on during the useful life of 1 compatible Garmin product or as long as Garmin receives map data from a third party supplier, whichever is shorter. So, does this mean that Garmin must keep MapUpdater so people like you can continue to update their older devices that have lifetime updates?Ī required computer OS version or update doesn't seem to fit any of the various items listed under G's Terms & Conditions as I read them although others may think differently: It's odd since I think the GMU program just had a version update recently due to the EU's new privacy law. Given this change in response from Garmin, I believe GarminMapUpdater is currently not available from Garmin. ![]() When I fired up an old Netbook I have that still has Windows XP and tried to download Garmin Express, I was now given a message that Garmin Express is incompatible with the netbook's operating system and that a Windows update to a newer OS must be done before downloading and installing Garmin Express. Like you, I couldn't find a link today for the download from Garmin.įor more than a year now, when trying to download Garmin Express to a PC still running Windows XP, Garmin posted a page stating that Garmin Express is incompatible with Windows XP and that GarminMapUpdater should be used instead and offered a link to the PC version of the program. If anyone here knows of one, please post it here. I still have not found a link for the PC version. The images below have been reduced by the forum software, but if you right click and copy the image, it will allow you to paste a readable sized image into a document.Member Boyd over on the GPS Review forum found the Perry link for the Mac version of Mapupdater. In which case the Zumo XT for me will no longer be fit for purpose, and will no longer do what it's documentation says that it will do. I hope that I am wrong, but this omission may well be deliberate. I have lodged the 2 screen shots below as a source of reference, because web pages can change, and my suspicion is that this page may change before long. But technical support were clearly indicating to me that this was the way that I should be able to do it, and I was indicating to him that I knew that, but the facility had been removed in the latest version of Express. The page specifically shows image of the XT on the left hand side, and labels the page as for the XT. It is a page which describes how to install the maps to the PC - in the same way that I did when I first got the XT, and for the subsequent update. When I reported the issue on 16 March - as I hope many others have done, I was asked a number of questions and was given this link: XT Express Plugin.jpg (58.14 KiB) Viewed 5930 times
