Unable to load / install TopoActive Europe v2021.20
I just received refrubrished unit, got new one- and not being able to use it - because i got no maps.
By scrolling further down you'll see that they state 2021.20 for Europe. 2022.10 is for the other regions.
OT but somehow related: why hasn't there been any map update (yet) this year...?
I am also waiting for the 2022.10 update. Topoactive were the maps that Garmin did somehow correctly, with…
Generally you only need the .img map (Garmin). You copy it into the /Garmin directory on the watch. The Contour map with contour lines is optional.
Tried all people suggested here, removing, reinstalling express, pretty much everything - and nothing works .
Only after full reinstall Express & full wipe Fenix 6 i was able to install few maps - but it crushes on Topo Europe ;(
Based on this post : https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-6-series/172511/installing-maps-on-fenix-6-fails#pifragment-1292=8
I ended up with Support team - and they were not able yet to find solution.
I have different maps on Watch, Different maps on Express & Different maps to be updated on Express
Receiving replacement of watch meant to fix my battery issue - i ended up spending my time on solving yet another issue (as battery in Bike mode is still crap - 5% per 30 minutes no matter whihc settings & sensors)
Sent all files and waiting for Garmin to get back to me.
European maps are quite big. Are you sure you have enough space on your computer? I think you will need around 15gb on your computer's main hard drive.
I was surprised that this was mentioned in many posts & documentations & and also by Spport team. - that means people not aware of that to begin with - it was clear to me that you need space for update - but this is clearly some issue with refrub watch rather than anything else.
Thanks for checking that - i do have enought space on both Watch & PC.
I've had this before once. But I cannot remember if it was my fenix 6 Pro or my FR945. If I remember correctly the Problem was on the Garmin side and as soon as they fixed it the download worked for me (and others with the same problem).
Of course, it might be something completely different in your case.
Map updates were always wonky for me, somehow. Right now, for example, Garmin Express wants to download TopoActive Europe 2019.10 on my FR945, even though I have 2021.20 on it.
BTW, did you remove the watch from Garmin Connect (Mobile) only or Garmin Express too?

I guess Pandemic - and nothing changed in the world (no new roads so no update ? ) :D
My issue might be on Gamin side - as i see different maps in different places. Waiting for Gaming to get back to me.
I guess Pandemic
Well, ok: let's do what's "in" today and blame COVID when we find no other explanations that suits us
My issue might be on Gamin side
Will be interesting to know what they say, keep us posted.

I am also waiting for the 2022.10 update. Topoactive were the maps that Garmin did somehow correctly, with updates twice a year (Garmin Connect and Garmin Explore have ridiculously outdated maps). Now it seems like they want to save some more $ and are not updating Topoactive maps anymore, or at least not as frequent.
I even contacted Garmin support (Germany) on the topic. Their answer: We don't know when the next update will come.
Sorry for continuing OT, I tend to get somehow emotional on outdated maps
Maybe switch to OpenStreetMap that will cure the problem
