By scrolling further down you'll see that they state 2021.20 for Europe. 2022.10 is for the other regions.

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.

You usually don't need basecamp file. It's for apps like Basecamp and Qlandekarte. Download the Garmin and contours files. Copy the contents to watch. Every weekend you can download and copy the Garmin file as it's updated. Contours file is not updated, so you don't need to download it again.

Month later and still have same issue.
Garmin Support somehow redirected whole case to US team - but since then not hearing back from them.
I faced this issue since i have received replacement watch - which meant to solve issues - not create new ones.

What Garmin Watch has installed (in terms of maps) is different to what Garmin Express is showing and different what Garmin Express is trying to update, but it crash in any attempt of installing TopoActive Europe

Garmin - please fix this issue.

Which version of TopoActive Europe do you currently have on your watch?

OSM maps are pretty good and updated very very often, not like the Garmin's free maps. I do not use TopoActive Europe since 2 years thanks to the work of some people and the community.
