TopoActive EU 2021.10 Insufficient Space Issue

I updated the latest maps via Garmin Express. Everything ended normally without a problem. Finally, Garmin Express wrote me that I was with the latest updates. I disconnected my F6 from the PC and restarted it. The process of installing the new maps went smoothly. After reconnecting the watch it to the PC, Garmin Express showed me a new update of TopoActive Europe 2021.10 is available which I had already done. When I try to install this update, I get a message that my device does not have enough space. In my F6 there are 17 GB free and the map is 11 GB. Does anyone have a similar problem?

Oops, there they where! But they was missing in Express and also under System/About. So maybe they work then. Sorry for faulty info before!

Yeah, weird. System About lists the golf maps clearly and also DEM, but there is nothing obvious there to indicate which version of topographic maps is installed - just lots of unfathomable copywrite 2021 nonsense that means nothing to end users.

If you go into the Map App/Activity you can see the topographic maps listed.

Yep, the map isn't gone, it's just the Express that for some reason doesn't understand that it's there and offers update and the space requirement fails as it thinks it would need install the 8GB space that is less as it doesn't understand that the maps are already there so on.

The size before that was a maximum of 3.8Gb.
These were adapted versions for the Forerunner945, as well as the years before. I don't need to know where the nearest takeout is. So many new roads were definitely not built last year. :-) At least not in Europe.

I would guess that these are the same file:
gmapprom.img - 3.81GB
gmapprom1.img - 3.81GB

Just remove the latter and you have tried to install it again after the Express doesn't understand that it's already there.

All my map files:

gmapprom and D..img are the TopoEurope ones.. then local map.. then DEM, and then the basemaps for world and something:)

Same here (F6Sapphire). Sent a request to support via chat and email.

First of all, thanks Chris for keeping us posted.

Second, please people, before you post here, check this reply: https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-6-series/261772/topoactive-eu-2021-10-insufficient-space-issue/1252679#1252679

I don't get why people come to this forum, obviously find this thread and then post that they're having issues when Chris already posted twice that Garmin is aware, it is in fact a Garmin Express issue, the team is working on it and he will post again once it's been fixed.

Sounds like some are not reading a thread before they post in it.

What's the point really to keep posting after Chris's replies here?

Clearly we should just wait for the issue to be resolved, in the meantime, just don't press sync on Garmin Express....

0 Boris over 3 years ago in reply to p50kombi

Well, the point is easy to understand: getting information via email as soon as there is a solution.

0 jmto over 3 years ago in reply to p50kombi

If you have read the post itself you will notice people having wrong ideas what is happening. It's not deleting any maps etc. I think correcting them and helping people is good thing? But maybe not then?
