My brand new 1040 wont update MAPs, it keeps failing. The installed maps are 2021!
I believe I need updated maps for the auto climb pro.
Anyone else having issues. I have been onto the chat who suggested deleting some files but it failed again.
Any ideas. I am using a Window 10 PC
Did you delete the old maps before installing the new ones? If not, try to delete/remove the current maps before you install the new ones.
In Garmin Express choose administer maps, then uncheck all maps…
I removed the US maps in manage maps, then updated the Euro map. It worked.
There is now no longer space for the US maps to be re-installed. This is a bit poor, Garmin help didn't know that. I suppose…

Yes we are talking about different things.
When riding outside of a course all the products will detect climbs. They use a similar approach, which is on the fly climb generation. This uses map data for possible path networks that you can take, combined with terrain information and DEM data (elevation).
What the products are doing is using predictive logic to project a path forward using your current direction of travel and location using the path network data on the map and combining this with the elevation data to generate elevation profiles which they then search for climbs. This does not require a database of all climbs in the region. It is built off of the maps and DEM data that the units already had. This is how Hammerhead and Wahoo could deliver it through a software update only. It did not need new maps.
What Garmin did in addition was to pre-process all the maps for a given region and look for all climbs that meet a specified criteria. They then took that information and built a database of these climbs. It is these databases that take up the additional space when you install or re-install the maps. There is not actually any change to the maps.
What those databases allow you to do on the Edge, which you cannot do on the other products currently is to search a given region for climbs that meet your search criteria and return a list of matches. You can then review those matches, see the path they take, look at their elevation profile. Select them for the unit to navigate you to the start. Without a database of climbs this type of area search is not possible because the number of possible paths. The computation time would be too long.
The “Climb Explore” widget has sorting and filtering options.
• Search Radius (Defaults to 10 miles or 15 Km)
• Minimum climb difficulty (Uncategorized to HC)
• Maximum climb difficulty (Uncategorized to HC)
• Terrain Type (Paved, Unpaved, Mixed)
• Sort by (Nearest, Ascent, Length, Grade)
• Sort Order (Ascending Descending)
This also allows the Edge to show the starting points of climbs on the map that are not on your projected path. The red mountain icons are climbs in the area. Only one of these is on the projected path.
