![]() ![]() You should head over to the official website of Garmin, download the latest version available out there and download it on your computer. Garmin releases updates every now and then to target bugs or improve the compatibility of their software. Solution 1: Installing the Latest Version of Garminīefore you resort to other methods, you should make sure that the latest version of Garmin is installed in your computer. This is due to the fact that both, the operating system and the application have frequent compatibility issues and this isn’t solved until one party launches an update to deal with the issue. There are several cases where the application fails to load or when it gives an error when opening. Garmin is a very popular application which is also known to have compatibility issues with Microsoft Windows. You can also download maps into your device as well as change other settings with ease. Garmin has a desktop application named Garmin Express which allows you manage your Garmin device after plugging it with the USB connection on your computer. The other, related to the link you offer, is that it offers slightly outdated info since it refers to making sure you have the current Garmin Communicator Plug-In even though Garmin no longer requires computer to have Communicator installed, due in part to many browsers no longer supporting plug-ins.Garmin (previously known as ProNav), is an American multinational company which is known for its specialization in GPS technology for use in aviation, outdoor, sports activities, or automotive. One solution is to offer at The Factory the text of Garmin link but I think there was some hesitation among TPTB here in using that method. One is that a Garmin FAQ or Support link may be here today and next week, but that there's a fair chance it will be gone in 1-2 years. There are a couple small issues related to this which the FAQ authors will do well to check occasionally. I've certainly seen Garmin links offered with POI Factory FAQs and certainly with forum discussions. maybe the "Common Problems and Solutions"? Or are links to the Garmin Support site discouraged or not allowed in the POI Factory FAQ's? Suggestions? I was trying to think if this link should be added to an existing POI Factory FAQ. Here is the Garmin FAQ: Why does my Downloadable Content freeze at 50%? I know this does not answer all of the problems addressed in this current thread, but maybe could explain a couple of them. I ran across this recently added FAQ on the Garmin support site regarding map updates failing at the 50% completed mark. My 3590 shows the new update was indeed installed. I tested it out today on a previously scheduled 120 mile round trip and it worked perfect. Not sure what happened but it does appear the map was installed correctly to my 3590. But just a second before that happened I was still stuck at 50% installed. I just waited it out for about 15 minutes and then all of a sudden GE said everything was finished installing. The percentage installed also went backward to around 50% completed. When I got to around 65% installed all of a sudden my time remaining went from 12 minutes left and suddenly jumped to 23 hours left. ![]() It shows the most current version map, but it never installed completely using Garmin Express. I tried reinstalling the current map again and it stops before 73% installed and it starts over again at 50%. ![]() I unplugged my Garmin 2595 and then I plugged it back in, it showed that My GPS has the most current version map file. I tried using the stand alone map installer with windows 10 and it crashes every time I run it. I uninstalled and reinstalled Garmin express and it didn't help. I keep trying to install the new map file and it gets to 73% installed then it starts the reinstall again starting from 50%.
