• Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

I have not installed it either.

Downloaded it, and Cyclops update for the XT2 always fails to install. Rolled back to 7.27.1.0 and still the problem. So 7.28 might be ok, and the Cyclops update might be the problem

the version I have now is 7.24.0.0
I've not updated since

I seem to have v 7.28 installed. I don't know when that happened, but I must have done it.
It hasn't been a problem so far.

There are ALWAYS issues if I try and ask it to do everything - update all - I'd go away and leave it and it would fail something after completing one of the early tasks. I have long since avoided doing that and do the short jobs one at a time, and leave the map updates until the end when I can walk away and leave it. But they take nowhere near as long as the 3 hours that they suggest to download the new maps - 2027.10. Maybe 30 minutes. And much less if I install to the computer - 5 mins. (Fibre, 30MB/s)

Hmm. Edit. I've screwed this up somehow. I'll get back to you once I've found out what I did.

All working OK. 7.28 Express is working. 2027.10 Europe maps NTU installed on the XT1, XT2 and Basecamp.

I had a glitch - caused primarily by my PC/Windows throwing up a dialog box asking me to confirm I wanted Express to access my hard drive. I missed it because it appeared only after I had closed the program under which it was displayed. But by then I had disconnected the XT from express.

After that everything was weird, but I eventually recovered and did it propelry this time. All OK.

This is the version I downloaded some time ago, no Idea what the numbers/letters are at the end.

FWIW, the "About" info of my 7.24.0.0 installation is below. I don't know what the letters and numbers in parenthesis mean nor whether every 7.24 installation shows the same characters.

Hi Peobody,
I checked my 7.24.0.0 Garmin Express settings info,
It displays:

About Garmin Express
Version 7.24.0.0 (db94190d)

same letters as yours

I've noticed similar suffixes on software under development. I think they are automatically generated hexadecimals used to distinguish different beta builds. Usually, they are stripped off for the published public release versions.

well I just updated from Garmin Express version 7.24 to 7.28 and I am still not seeing the Manage Maps button on the main page of Express, it wasn't showing up on 7.24 and now with 7.28 it doesn't show up either, I have no idea why, anyone know why I'm not getting it?
