#Garmin mapinstall on windows 10 windows 10#
I am running Windows 10 on a 6 year old Acer ATC-705 desktop. Perhaps it's worth reviewing and checking what they contain to start with?

Installation to PC is nearly instantaneous these days (SSD speeds). 14MB/s (it was in my case last time I checked). The second part is both installation to device and to your PC - transfer to device is ca. When one downloads/uploads the map, first 50% of the overall process (as indicated in GE) is download off the Garmin servers to your PC to C:\ProgramData\Garmin\CoreService\Downloads\Map folder - this typically uses whole of my available DL speed (~8MB/s). There used to be issues in the past with simultaneous installation on both, but that happened to me one or twice in the last 10 years. When I download / upload maps, I typically do so for both: PC and nuvicam at the same time.
I currently own nuvicam LMT-D - since 2016, I think? - I used to own 3590 LMT-D before. In the past I used to have rather dated PC (Pentium IV) with Windows XP before it died on me in Jan 2017 (necessitated purchase of the above) and ran Garmin Express (some previous version) without any such issues either.

I neither use nor have installed any VPN software either. I occasionally ran Malwarebytes to sweep the disks, but not as a background service. I do not use any AV software except what is provided by Windows (Defender). I do have FTTC 80/20 broadband which is quite stable and reliable. It runs Windows 10 Home continuously since early 2017 (so: no re-installs etc.), with latest upgrades (21H1) and updates (Jul CU). It's HP Omen 870-095na, with expanded RAM, swapped OS SATA SSD by cloning (128MB was a joke to start with) and added NVMe SSD as a data store. Surely there is information to be shared. If anyone has gone through this, and contacted Garmin support, what was the outcome? I'm not pointing the finger at Garmin (yet) but there must be more info. They are a major carrier and provide top notch service. My results over the years have been hit and miss. The procedure is to "not disconnect your device" during the download, but what do you do when it chokes? It's been 40 minutes and "speed" (?) is down to 630KB/s (?) and stalled at "20.1% complete". This time it started fast and looked promising however after about a minute it started to slow.
I then tried to download "to the device" (I chose an older nuvi 1350). Now, if THAT would only happen all the time! This was a download to the "computer only".

I tried to download the map update again today. It's the only way to get to a resolution for everyone. Is there some incompatibility with Windows 10? Firewall? MS Defender? So, if the issue is NOT Garmin, and it is NOT my ISP, what is the issue? (even just downloading to the PC, not to the Garmin device). I tried my Win10 computer with the same painfully slow response as noted above. Although it did take a while (as expected), speeds were reasonable (consistent ~8Mb/s +). I then tried my older Windows 7 laptop and the download was successful. When I first start the download on my Windows 10 computer, things move along quite well (20-30Mb/s) but then they slowly dwindles down to 400kb/s and finally it just times-out (ya, it sure looks like its being throttled, but where?). And no, I'm not talking about buffered streaming services such as Netflix, YouTube or others that only really run at a few Mb/s. Yes, they are probably the largest files to download, but other large files, from other suppliers, transfer very fast. I use direct wired connections to my computers (no WiFi). 1GB up/down speeds (about 800Mb/s confirmed on my PC). It's a pain, especially with multiple Garmin devices and PC's. I have put up with it for years (multiple ISPs).
Nonetheless, there ARE issues with Garmin map downloads and clearly, many people DO have an issue. Yes, I know I will be told "most people don't have a problem" and to contact my ISP. Yes, I know there are multiple messages on this subject.
