How can i update the maps on my computer

i have Garmin Express 5.1.0.0, just manually updated it.

I have lifetime maps on my Zumo 590.

I cannot see how to update the maps on my Mac, i DO remember having a menu option in the past - which seems to have gone now.

I have seen that this is an ongoing problem with Express, but most of the older threads are closed and are actually about much older versions.

Is this a Sierra issue - or a Mac Book Pro issue or a Garmin Express 5.1.0.0 issue - i can get my maps on the Zumo - but the USB is slow so is a real pain to use those maps on the Zumo when i have such fast SSD storage on my MBP.

If you have lifetime maps the download to your mac is an option that you need to select. You can choose to update your device, Mac or both.

Yep, i have lifetime maps - and - no - there is not option to update both the Zumo and the Mac.

I USED to have an option to update both - but it is no longer there. Can you outline where it should appear if the appllication thinks i have liftime maps, is there some way to tell Express i am supposed to be allowed to do this?

Is there a way to encourage Express to do what it should do, reset it?

Are you running the latest version of Express? If not update first then delete and re-add your devices to Express and see if that resolves it.
