That would have been the previous October update. Latest is dated 29 January, 2025 albeit numbered 2026.10!I did m8ne at the start of January before setting off to Spain.
I have this issue with my ZUMO 660 (a motorcycle unit) despite having a 32GB SD card, express doesn't seem to recognise it.Help please Guys
Trying to update maps on my Garmin Tourer 770, plugged into computer with appropriate usb lead etc, Garmin Express recognises the device and confirms its connected.
I start the update, and as usual its tells me to wait while it downloads software, having waited a long time it comes up with the message saying "Insufficient space on your computer"
When I select the settings button it tells me that the sat nav internal memory is 88% full, with the additional installed 32Gb SD card saying it has Zero data stored on it.
I contacted Avtex Support and the guy said that the software updates are so large these days that they need a 32GB SD card installed which I confirmed it already had, but it was showing no data stored on it. I did buy the appropriate SD card size an type as recommended.
The support guy said I needed to start the Garmin Express download and having had the computer recognise it, wait until I get the message about insufficient memory on computer, then remove & replace The SD card and hope it will then move onto downloading files.
It seems to want to do this and starts to countdown the downloading files, but it stops and tells me again insufficient memory on computer.
My question is is it the computer memory that is lacking space with this message coming up, or the sat nav device?
My computer has already stored The Garmin Express software, so no more memory should be needed on the computer hard drive or does it need more space?
Thanks.

Hi GellyneckA few questions first, Les.
I assume you're running Garmin Express on a Windows computer?
If so, what version?
Open File Explorer (assuming it's Win 10 or 11) and right click C:Windows then left click Properties. It should look like this (Win 11)
View attachment 1008119
- what does it say for Free Space?
That's what could be your problem - 11.1Gbs free!Hi Gellyneck
Yes its a windows machine running win 10.
Forgot to do a screen shot, but it said 214Gbs Used space, 11,1Gbs Free space, Capacity 225Gbs.
Thats having done a disk clean every day.
Thanks
LES
No problems, Les.Thanks Gellyneck
Well thats opened up a whole new can of worms on my laptop, it seems that Garmin updates are all stored on the SSD and we need to somehow find all the old map updates and delete them to create more space.
I will probably have 6 years plus of old map updates in there needing to be deleted somehow. I am tired just now, but will have a fresh look at what I can do at the weekend.
Thanks for your help, this is what I found when I copied your link, too many people having problems I fear, Garmin should have a decent housekeeping facility to stop old updates being stored indefinitely IMV.

You can set up your own very, very, very, did I say very, crude Custom Avoidances on Garmin BaseCamp and some of their devices.As far as I know none of the satnavs have an option to avoid low emission zones. That would be useful.
Are you sure it's not 2016.10, Dane?Just done mine and it's says 2025.10
No defo 2025.10. It's a 15 year old Nuvi 1390 maybe it can't be updated any longer. I can see on Garmin's website it should be 2026.10 for EU mapsAre you sure it's not 2016.10, Dane?
From memory 2025.10 came out around end of 2023.
Now remember this time, Dane, that "Lifetime Maps" is Garmin's definition of lifetime and not your, the young fella that you are, expectation of lifetime!Just ordered a Garmin Camper 795 from Halfrauds Went through Quidco and along with the 4% cashback I got another £30 off using their supplied discount code.
Need to sit down in a darkened room now to recover.
This is spooky!I thought I was young until the wife just came in the office telling me she is sorting out her state pension that's due in May, time does fly.
Thanks for the manual, just downloaded it while the new Satnag is updating herself.
This is spooky!
Other half was doing exactly the same thing yesterday!
This is gonna really p** you off! Just updated my 13 year old nuvi 2460 to 2016.10.Son uses it now and again but the battery is well on it's way out!
Yeah I have replaced the battery on another older Garmin but given the 2460 is lucky to get used 3-4 times a year it ain't worth it. It still works when plugged in but only lasts 5-10 minutes if on battery.About 4 years ago I did manage to replaced the battery in my 1390, so may be worth you doing the same on the 2460 if it chucks the towel in.
I'm fairly sure Garmin had problems a couple of years back with their Mac version of BaseCamp and that's why the version numbers are out of sync. 4.7.5 for Windows and 4.8.13 for a Mac. Think it might have been around GDPR(?) times.I’ve just done my 785. It used to be a nightmare to do map updates. It never worked on its own wifi update and it took forever on my Mac before falling over or failing to recognise the additional SD card. Why they can’t put enough internal storage in is beyond me. At one stage I sent it back to Garmin for them to do it. However I recently bought a cheap Windows PC and it now runs through perfectly.
