Garmin 830 not shows map updated - 3 different devices

Hello, 
I am in a household where there is

3 Garmin 830
1 Garmin 1040 solar
1 FR 965

- 2 of the 830 don't show any map update, stuck to 2019 map.

- 1 of the 830 show map update, and is now on 2024.20

- 1040 solar has got map updates, including 2025.10

On the 2 830 that don't get map updates I've tried:

- connecting to my garmin account on my garmin express that already updated maps for 1040: nothing shows.

- deleting map files from devices, and check again for updates. Nothing. Only trailfork maps 2019

Any solution for theses devices?

I've copied 2025.10 map and dem files from the 1040 and it worked, but again those devices won't then show updates...
Geocode maps from 1040 don't work on 830, normal?
SQL files I didn't copy, which from my understanding  is meant for climb pro..should I copy? or will climb pro work on 830 without it?

Can anyone from garmin advise on how to make these 830 get updates? They are on latest firmware. All bought in europe.

Have a great day

  • Garmin no longer offers free map updates on the 830. You have to buy as noted when you use Express.

  • There was zero info on it on express.
    Bizarre because the 3rd 830 had the updated europe maps, maybe linked that the owner has bought new zealand maps?

  • I got the 2025.10. So you do not have to pay for it. But still no update for my forerunner 945.

  • I would like to believe that, but I don't see any update past the 2024.20 that is on my unit. There was a brief option to install TopoActive NA 2025.10 for $59.99 shown in Express, but that is not showing now. It was only showing for a day.

    Something weird is going on with Express and Edge units.

  • Can you please confirm that with the 830 and TopoActive 830 you can search by adress?
    One of the persons on which I updated the 830 with the files tells me he can't now, and before he could

  • Hello,
    I updated one of the 830, showed the 2025.10. Had to deleted almost all maps because it said no space, and then reboot the computer, and then they appear...they failled one time, and then ok.
    Adress search is present again.
    I noticed that DEM Map is version 2023.10 on the 830 and 2025.10 on the 1040, and Geocode is 2024.10 on the 830 and 2025.10 on the 1040.
    Can you tell me which versions you got?
    Also on the 1040 I can search water points on POI but not on the 830, same for you?

  • I can't search on addresses anymore on my 830, drives me nuts, asks for a State/Province doesn't find anything. Really curious to know how to fix this
