Re: 2026.1 update

Every other business puts its important functions in a prominent position for ease of use, it does not hide them so that only the cognoscenti understand their location. Garmin Express is not user friendly, it is the product of those ivory tower mentality individuals who do not understand the ...

Re: 2026.1 update

I need to apologise, I did not realise that Garmin Express had its own section, that's probably because it's such sh-te. I have never been able to get it to recognise my units for a second time during a download and always have to uninstall it, then reinstall, this is for all three units. For a ...

2026.1 update

Just looked at updating to latest maps. Garmin Express in map details under options, only allows a reinstall of current maps (2025.1). Before it allowed a choice to update the latest maps on your unit and/or the computer, having latest maps only on the unit is of no use to me. Does GE update both ...

Re: 2024.1 maps cannot be authenticated

As long as you are careful you can load most of the maps you want, in one Mapinstall loading, then add the missing parts after, best to select an appropriate i.e straight dividing line on the map say somewhere south of Denmark, then add the Scandinavian countries later, double check the highlighted ...

Order of Routes on the XT

I knew that this issue would have already been dealt with and after a long search, Peobody has provided the answer, It seems that keeping your planned routes in the order you planned them is really easy--- when you know how. All this in Basecamp before transferring. I tried the numbering system, I ...

Re: Planned distance not making sense

I know that this conversation happened in May, but, just for info, if you get outlandish mileages or odd routing ( like a molecular model) from a downloaded route, first resort go to trip planner and change vehicles, from motorcycle to car and then back, this will recalculate the route, as ...
