For several months now I have had no Manage Maps option in Garmin Express.
Reinstalling the software fixes it for one session, but as soon as the software is closed and reopened I lose the option again.

I've been having this issue for quite a while now and think i have a work around but not a solution.
1. Load Garmin Express without any devices plugged in
2. Go into your device (still not plugged in, grey dot)
3. Click "Manage Maps" when it appears
4. Follow the new prompt to now plug your device in
5. Wait for MTP protocol to activate on your device.
6. You can now continue to manage maps as we used to (until you close the maps window, you'll have to start again from step 2 to get the maps window open again if that's the case).
Notes:
You need to have at least 1 map downloaded to your device for this to work or the manage maps option will not appear this can be done through map manager on your device. (Hong Kong is a tiny download size so if you're in this situation I'd recommend that)
I think you also need to have no download queue for maps on your device(I find it quite hard to get the device to connect regardless of which option I chose (to start the download or not start the download) when there is a map I queue).
Occasionally I've had server time outs when doing this today, i just need to start again form step 2 if that happens.
It looks like my software versions are the same as SeanT's
Hopefully this helps someone else not have to go through the torture of the on device downloader for larger maps/updates....
Edit: Images of screens when connected and not connected as they look slightly different to the OP.
