The new devices have wifi and this is how they will update OTA. The inbuilt sim has far too slow data speeds to be able to handle the updates. |

I have just got a 5100 as well. I reluctantly ditched my 540 Live a couple of years ago due to the ridiculous annual fees to keep it going and switched to Garmin. I found the Garmin ok at best with in ... |

Had a few hold-ups on my way in this morning - the Garmin reported and kept updating everything exactly as well as my TT would have done. |

I've just got myself a Garmin 2598 as I wasn't prepared to cough up yet another £47 for traffic on my Go 540 (annoyingly which otherwise is working fine). I haven't had the Garmin long enough to give ... |

To me this is more about the incompetence of the company rather than the issue itself - it raises serious issues of confidence in their ability to survive as a company with such continually poor handl ... |

Well, I've just installed an older version of Home, hacked the ini file so it wouldn't update - and have finally been able to update my map etc without having to install the dreaded Navicore update of ... |

Well, I'd not update again until it was fixed. But from what others have said, if you want the other updates but not the firmware, you can copy the map folder from one SD card to your active one.

Oh, how sweetly naive.
