Updating to City Nav Europe 2013.10 - Corrupt File

Post by charlesjsprice »

I have tried to update to the latest Euro map file as above. As usual I downloaded to both my 595 and the laptop (I use Mapsource & trying to get used to Basecamp - both apps recognise and can use the new map files).
However on the 595 the maps have not loaded completely. When I switch it on it says the maps are corrupt and cannot be used. So I try to reinstall the maps via Garmin Express (latest version) and off it goes starting at 50% and then only going up to 65.2%; after thinking about it for a long time it drops the connection to the 595 and says the install failed, after which the 595 reconnects to the laptop.
Anyone else experienced this and have a work around?
Many thx

Could be a couple of reasons.

First check how much free space you have on your device. If there isn't a bit of wriggle room a map update can fail.

Second, although unlikely as the maps are visible in BaseCamp, is that the data in ProgramData/Garmin/CoreService/Downloads/Map is itself corrupted. Try deleting the map data there if a free space check shows that the device isn't nearly full.

There is also this Garmin FAQ

If none of that helps come back for more help.

Having removed and reloaded Express and checked the list of issues you provide a link to it still has not worked. Same issue failing to get past 65.2% upload. I even tried Mapinstaller and this didn't work either.
One think I did notice was that after the reinstall of Express the software started to load the map files from 0% after hitting Reinstall Maps. This failed and when tried again it started at 50% and then stopping at 65.2%.
Any further thoughts much appreciated. Thx

I had a similar issue. Garmin support got it all sorted out for me.

Just an update: I contacted Garmin chat and after some yes I tried all of that they are sending me a recertified 595. let's hope it works!
