Unable to install new Vehicles & Voices

Former Member

Hello

I just recently purchased Garmin Smartdrive 50LM with Middle east map. I have successfullly updated the software through Garmin Express. But I am unable to download the Vehicles, Voices, or Bundle. It will just show "Failed" message right next to the download button.


Did anybody experience the same? Please advise on how to solve this.
Thank you.

    This issue has already been reported to our developers who are actively working to resolve this. Unfortunately, there is on ETA on a resolution at this time. We will post here when the download from the Garmin Garage has been resolved.

    It seems that the issue is not going to be resolved soon. In the meantime, could you please provide us the files for vehicles/voices/bundles and the guide on how to install it manually?

    Thank you.
  • Just use your favorite search tool. For example, a search for "garmin vehicle icons" will get you many sites with access to hundreds of standard and custom vehicle icons and instructions how to download and install on various devices.

    I understand that very much. But I actually was talking about the official vehicles/voices/bundles of Garmin.

    I was browsing through pigtones and stumbled upon this warning. So I am reluctant to buy from them


    Can you please share a few sites that can be trusted? Thank you.

    Nothing shown in Garmin Store

    Hi everyone, first time posting, long time user.

    I just bought a nuvi 2859LMT NA and updated all of the software and maps. I wanted to add some vehicles and voices from the Garmin store through Garmin Express, however, when I click "Store" and then "Vehicles & Voices" nothing shows up. There's the drop down to select vehicles, voices, and bundles, but nothing else. Has anyone else had this issue/know what could be the cause (I'm assuming a bug in this version of express 4.1.27.0).
  • For the "free" voices and vehicles available for your device, look under Tools, Optional Updates. For the voices, select your language under Language Files, and Express will download all available voices for your language. Vehicles are under Other Files.

    I don't look in the Garmin Store very often, but I just did and nothing shows there for me either. At one time, I know it used to show the extra cost voice and vehicle packages. I don't know if these are no longer offered or if they have just been removed from Express.

    I looked here but this isn't what I've seen in the past (on 2597LMT and an older model that I can't remember the number of atm). Before, there were tons of other vehicles (things like an RV, tractor, helicopter, 24 Bus, etc.) and voices in the actual store like the screenshot that LaMarto shared at the beginning of the thread. I know there are a lot of other free resources online but I'd rather have the Garmin specific stuff, at least the voices, plus the bundles were kind of neat.
  • See post #2 above. In the meantime it seems Express now isn't showing them as before.

    Thanks, SUSSAMB. I was thinking it was probably related but wasn't sure since OP could at least see them listed. I tried installing an older version of Express but without any luck...
  • And just to add: I see the same on Garmin Express v3 (Garmin Garage is just empty) so that's not related to GE version.
