Thanks for replying - I had some limited success by reinstalling a (very) old version of GE...have updated to the latest again but now the app just abends every time I try to open it. Horrible user experience.
I've also been having this problem since the automatic update to 7.16 broke my installation into a loop of "Report and re-open/close" error which the developers seem not to care about.
Clean re-install did not fix the problem. VPN did not fix the problem. Router/PC restarting did not fix the problem. Nor did other suggestions like running as administrator.
Can someone please share the 17.5 installer?
P.S.
Note to self: last time I buy something from Garmin.
Have you tried changing the locale to US English as described here ...as for everything else, we are dealing with malakilithioi - nothing to see here :)
Older versions may be resident on your PC. Go to C:\ProgramData\Garmin\CoreService\Downloads\Application and see what may be there. Before doing any of the possible updates I suggest going into your present version an disabling the switch to have GE run in the background, then do a normal uninstall, then do a reinstall of the older versions. Also, when adding a device, make sure the time on the device agrees with the time on your PC.
