Golf maps 7.30 won't update

I've just updated my S70 to the latest software version 17.23. That downloaded and updated without issue over my WiFi network using the watch. I noticed that there are Golf Course map updates version 17.30 to download. I tried to update that but on each occasion they fail as they are nearly complete. I do have a computer but it's so old and slow, that's why I never use it. Anyone else had issues and does anyone have a solution without using my computer?

Same issue here no update OTA, Garmin Express not working too! Cannot do any mapupdate.

I eventuality got Express to work and I managed to update the watch using that. It took some time as there were several updates to express and my computer is ancient, but it eventually worked.

How did you do it?

I updated Express and plugged my watch into the PC using a USB charging cable for the watch. I then followed the onscreen instructions. It updated the watch with no problems.

If you are unsure there's a step by step guide on what to do online.

Hi everyone, does it happen to you too with the latest map update that these, once downloaded, are not synchronized? the other times everything worked perfectly. Thanks for the support.

If you are experiencing issues updating the course maps on your S70 using Garmin Express, ensure that the Express program is up to date to the most current version available for the program per the Mac or Windows PC version you are using.

Garmin recommends following the steps outlined on the Garmin Express not Working for Updates and Downloads support page, which offers in-depth steps to help resolve the concern.

Another method for updating the course maps on the Approach S70 is to connect the Approach S70 to a WiFi network, and then update the course maps through the Map Manager feature on the S70 while the watch is connected to a power source.

If you continue to have concerns updating via Garmin Express on a home computer, it may be best to contact Garmin Support for further solutions.

“Map sync failed” is the code error. In the past the OTA update worked perfectly. Since this latest update, it doesn’t work. So please fix the problem with the map update. I’ can’t do anything by myself. Thanks.
