    Default Garmin map update 4.20¿

    Fyi for those that dont know, & quite a aggervation for me,the recent map update v4.20 will NOT install on device! Instead they are going to try & MAKE us download basecamp & amap installer, then maybe get it installed. The garmin came with my spyder. I did not shop for it & for them to tell me I have to is just ! I have emailed them & already got "are uou sure?" comments, like I have the problem... Yes im redneck no im not the problem.

    You do need Garmin Express installer to do the update. Base Camp is also a good mapping program and appears to be necessary according to your pic. They are both free. Mine is a BRP Garmin also. Have had it since 2010. Never had a problem using Express or Base Camp.

    I don't find BaseCamp that easy to use and a Garmin tech agreed it's not. FWIW, there's an excellent bicycling route software package I've used for years called Ride with GPS that comes in a free version that allows exporting .gpx files you've created. I imported one to BaseCamp and it converted it to a route with my motorcycling profile.
    Artillery lends dignity to what would
    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Default What did you do?

    I have never seen this screen before and you don't need Basecamp to download a map. Start over again. Make sure you have the latest version of Garmin Express 4.1.3.0. Update by clicking on the gear symbol and check for updates.

    The latest firmware is 5.10 and the latest map is 2015.4.

    Take out the battery and look at the model number. If it is a Zumo 660 no free map updates. If it is a Zumo 660LM it has free lifetime map updates.
