Huge map update

And you expect the issue is solved then...?

Happy waiting

I have no other option.

Garmin emailed me today, that i can get new map to my explore 2. So..
Other options is to sell Explore 2 and buy something with larger storage

I have had Explore 2 since may 24. It seems like great purchese.

Why do other Explore 2 owners do not have problems with map update to Garmin Cycle Map EU 2024.20 then? Beside the GCM I have two more non-Garmin OSM maps on my device and they all fit perfectly and on the last GCM map update to 2024.20 I had not to delete anything to make room for the update.

So there may be files or data on your device causing Garmin Express offering a so big map update? ClimbPro data maybe?
In the folder Edge Explore 2 \ Internal Storage \ Garmin \ SQL \ INTERNAL the ClimbPro data are stored. On my device there are two .db files DA54200.DB (5.93 MB) and MapRegionGrouping.db (408 KB). In my settings I have Climbpro OFF thats maybe the difference with your device? Moving the big .DB files and the .img & .gma files from ..\garmin to backup and taking the plunge with Garmin Express?

I would like to help you out of your map problems, but I fear that we are circling around...

Strange... I have 2024.20 Europe Maps installed and still have some free space left on the device...

Installed maps:

Available Space:

I have no problem, garmin expres with 18,64GB update has problem :)

I think it's just a textual problem. I updated the map (Europe) just a few minutes ago, and although it said the update was more than 18 GB I still have 1,7 GB free space left. In my opinion you can use the update without any problem.

I have thst map installed and my Edge Explore 2 still reports over 8Gb free. I suspect it’s size is just being reported incorrectly.

Incorrectly and Garmin? No way

Did you actually try installing or just assume it wouldn’t work?
