Not Enough Storage to Update Maps

Former Member over 11 years ago

I am pretty upset right now. I bought a Garmin 3490LMT and wanted to update the maps to 2014.10. However, Garmin Express tells me that there is not enough storage on my device and I need to purchase an SD card or only install parts of the maps. I did some research and found that others had the same issue and they recommended using the Garmin Map Updater. I could not find it on Garmin's website but found a link. I downloaded it (v3.2.2) and tried to do the update but get the same error as with Garmin Express.

It is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS to sell a device with lifetime map updates but then you can't update it unless you buy more memory. If it's a bug then its RIDICULOUS that Garmin has not solved this issue yet since that problem seems to exist for several months.

If you'd done your research before buying rather than after you'll have discovered that Garmins information on lifetime map updates makes it quite clear that a card may be required. It can hardly therefore be described as ridiculous.

It's no different to buying a digital camera these days most of which need you to buy a card if you want to take anything more than a couple of photos.
