New 2015.10 Maps out

walkerx · Posted: Thu May 29, 2014 9:00 am Post subject:

well i had problems originally installing this map as it said not enough space on device - choose uk & ireland to only lose most of the features - found a 16gb memory card and let it install again full europe - forgot to test but found this morning all voices gone except polish and still no ability to use half the functions

retrying install again but if this fails hopefully can restore from the backup i made - if not then looks like it will be another return

the 3598 is supposed to accept full european maps, so why must garmin release a map that won't fit on the device.

Great, Basecamp won't install on XP any more, so I needn't bother downloading the maps for 7 hours then!

8Gb should be ample so unsure why it's not working. Also the deleting of voices occurred a while back and was meant to have been fixed. Are you running the latest Express which is v3.2.4?

Before you mess about though I'd try using MapUpdater ... available here

http://download.garmin.com/lmu/GarminMapUpdater.exe

It's meant to have been superceded by Express but is still available, many find it more reliable.

For once since using Express I too have had issues with Express and this update. I have a report into Garmin and am hoping for a prompt reply.

yeh was running the latest version when performed the reinstall

will try again with mapupdater and see if that works tonight - getting it to work on work pc is a no go

update: well finally got express installed on work pc, but wouldn't work as wouldn't obtain the serial number - so decided to try the dashboard on the website and managed to get British language installed, but no other voices would install

Will attempt again tonight at home and if still no good then will go back to halfords and see if can swap for a different model

used the map updater and again still not all voices installed

i purchased the 3598 as thought it would be better than using my mobile phone as a satnav - with the current issues with this device i've been thinking about just taking it back and buying a cheap mobile to use as a satnav

the tomtom's i'm put off because you can't install your own poi and their traffic is nowhere as good as garmin's.

the software must keep a record of what you choose as i've noticed my 2390 when it updated it said the space was not enough and had option to delete language files - on the 3598 never had this option on the latest update

Mine updating now.

I have to assume that this update is quite large as I got the message that it is installing to the memory card.

I just hope this doesn't produce the grey blocks as reported for other devices being as I assume a card won't be quite as fast as built in memory?

I did get a high power card.

Wouldn't you have thought Garmin would have put in larger internal memory to cope with future updates being as the original maps and other files almost filled the factory default setup Rolling Eyes

If I do have any issues I may well back off to just UK maps as I will never need anything else.

The 3598 has grey block issues using only the internal memory. I think this is down to the 3D landscape and the fact it can't cope with it as got same with just UK&Ireland map.

Be warned that a lot features were removed on the 3598 when choose other region and when back to full it still removes voices etc so has a setting somewhere for when update again.

When spoke to Halfords yesterday that had others that complained about 3598

Thanks

I've only got a lowly 2597 as I only wanted the cams and traffic and the ability to reset my trip log.

Got 7 minutes to go then I'll see

yeh i'm taking the 3598 back and looking at going for the 2598LMT-D - the other option is to use my mobile device again, but didn't really want to do that as would need to fully rely on mobile signal for traffic updates

the 3598 in my view is not fit for purpose if it can't even display properly or receive the updates without having to make modifications to the install or having to purchase another memory card.

i know when I used Sygic on my mobile I could have everything else running in the background including cameralert and never had any slow down issues and that was using tomtom 3d maps - the problem was the maps were not fully upto date, many roads had incorrect speed limits and if had traffic it only worked every so often (they broke it when they updated it and started adding more features)

Well the 25x7/8 series certainly don't suffer from the gray screen issue but you may very well need a sd card depending on the mapset you choose to install. I need a card on my 2508 with Western Europe installed, although I also have an OSM map that takes up space.

All seems OK.

I've had a look at the device in Windows and the size of the map, now on the card, is bigger than the available space on the device.

The available space with the previous map set wasn't huge but was OK so I'm surprised.
