Hello.
I understand that last year (2025) Garmin transistioned from "Central" "Eastern" and "Western" Europe Topoactive Maps to one "European" Topoactive Map.
When I log into Garmin Express it still offers me last years 2025 update for my Garmin Edge 1050. I understand that this is because I am "Stuck" on the regional split, and not the entire continent map. As the individual maps are no longer being updated, I will forever be stuck on that update. I also understand that the latest update for the Maps was released in Feb 2026 which I cannot get because of this problem.
The device itself shows that it can download the update for Europe, but when I ask it to do that, it says its downloading the map, and says it will take 10+ hours to do so I have a 2000mbps internet connetion, and I would really like to download the map into express and then squirt it onto my 1050, like I normally do, and in less than 45 minutes that it normally takes, not 10+ Hours.
I have:
- Deleted the maps off the device and the GarminDevice.xml from it as well.
- Uninstalled Garmin Express from my PC and reinstalled it from the fresh download from Garmin running 7.28.0+f1c0ff2f.
- Signed out of Garmin Express and Back in again.
- Removed the device from Garmin Express and readded it.
But it refuses to see the map. I'm down to the only option of installing it via the device itself which is 10+ hours.
Are there any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks for any advice!
