Updated to 7.0 but Galileo option not available. GPS software not updated?

I just updated to 7.0 but the Galileo option isn't available. The release notes indicate that the GPS software needs to be updated, but there was no option to perform that update in Garmin Express.

On my unit's about screen, it shows the GPS version as "4.40(!)"

Any suggestions?

  • I experienced the same situation. The GPS firmware was update by after the automatic installation of new version my Windows Garmin Express... and then Galileo was installed and became available.
  • I've tried multiple updates after 7.0 was installed, still nothing.
  • My version of Garmin Express is 6.11.0.0
  • To update GPS version just use Garmin Web Updater app
  • To update GPS version just use Garmin Web Updater app


    Thanks!
    (Garmin Concept: Users have to support... is there a reason why the GPS update is not included in Garmin Express?)

    Just downloaded the webupdater but getting the error "There was an issue when connecting to the Garmin servers. Please make sure your proxysettings are correct" when launching the app. Guess ill have to do it with Garmin Express.

    So, just did the install via Express. Same problem here, no Galileo available. Here's what I did.
    Connected to PC to download 7.0 via Express.
    Disconnected and installed 7.0. (Checked to see if Galileo was there after it rebooted, was not).
    Reconnected and synced with Garmin Express again. No Gallileo.

    EDIT: Just synced via Mac instead of Windows and it installed the GPS firmware after startup. Wierd.
    Also a side note. When I connect the 1030 to the PC it has massive issues getting into storage mode. I always have to hold the lap button on startup, and even than it fails a lot. I usually sync routes, workout files etc via usb so it's pretty annoying(and I don't think the button likes it). On Mac it goes in storage mode instantly without me forcing it into it with the lap button.
  • at first after i updated i had no galileo option but after a restart the option apeared on the device
    just not sure it will be usefull if all constellations cant be used at once ??
  • Powered my unit off, turned on, and GPS was updated, Galileo was there!
  • Updated Garmin Express on my Mac and the GPS software updated.
