#Garmin express not detecting nuvi 2589lmt update#

So based on the comments above, I checked and tried a bunch more things. Yeah /heh/ pwo, you may be right about him wanting 'helpers' even less than Covid. Others have successfully updated this GPS to the latest maps. I figure I'm much better off asking for help here.

Garmin Express is not offering me *any* options, other than contacting Customer Support.

Oh incidentally, John, what is the built-in memory on your Nuvi? My GPS seems to have under 4GB of built-in memory, and the latest North American map updates are reportedly close to double that, even though last fall's map updates were under it.Īlso I don't get the opportunity I see in Garmin customer support to choose a smaller regional (not national) map update on my GPS. Windows doesn't give me the opportunity to format the micro SD card in the GPS, so I took it out, inserted it in a card reader connected to the PC, formatted it to FAT32 right-clicking the card in Windows Explorer, rebooted both the PC and the GPS, and Garmin Express still doesn't offer me the opportunity to use the card, though it still recognizes that the empty 32GB micro SD card is in the GPS Win 10 also still sees it. Still I thought your suggestion was a good idea I might have missed and followed up on it, but it didn't resolve my issue. They seem to come preformatted from the factory. We used to have to format new flash cards before using them, but lately it hasn't been necessary before using them in computers, cameras, etc.
