City Navigator North America 2027.10 now available

[Peobody]

City Navigator North America 2027.10 now available. It is installing on my XT as I type this.

Edit: I installed CNNA 2027.10 with GE 7.24. After restart of XT and GE, GE does not show any CNNA map installed yet says that the XT is up to date. UGH! I will return with an update once I know more.

Edit 2: I'm back. The good news is that the XT shows CNNA 2027.10 as installed. Following another XT restart, GE now shows the CNNA map under "Manage Maps" but not under "Map Details". At this point I am unable to find a way to install it to my PC. WAIT, I just switched to GE and it now show the CNNA map under map details where I now can access the option to install it to the PC. I did nothing in GE that would have affected why the map wasn't listed and then 5 minutes later it was. I guess it just took an extraordinary amount of time for GE to recognize the 2027.10 map. I'll attempt the PC install after some deep breathing and taking a break to do something mundane.

Edit 3: CNNA 2027.10 is not installed to my PC, but not without requiring the extra hoop-jumping of having to first elevate my user privileges to Administrator. I won't rant about this today other than to say that I remain befuddled over the fact that an installation requiring UAC credentialling does not install in such a way that the logged in user can use it (the map installs locked).

Strange, not available to me yet. I wonder if the rollout is somehow by geographic location.

It was available to me today and the same thing happened. Thankfully, Garmin's estimate of 2 hours, 47 minutes, was off. The device and the PC were done in a few minutes each.

I installed this as well. When I tried to save the map to the computer for BaseCamp, Express said the map changes couldn't be saved and BaseCamp said the map was locked. I ran Express as administrator, re-download the map, installed to the computer and all was fine.

Interesting.... I installed the map to the computer 1st(like I usually do) but it wouldn't show "unlocked" until I ran the install for the XT, then it was listed as unlocked in Basecamp.
Other than that all went well, and I did use Express 7.28.0

Strange. I have always installed to the Garmin first and then to the computer. It's the first time that the locked warning has ever happened. Coincidentally, I updated the Drivesmart 66 afterwards on another computer and had to run Express as an administrator as well. These were both Windows 11 machines.

@electro_handyman and @MotoToph , which privileges does your Windows user have, Standard or Administrator?

Administrator. But I had to run Garmin Express as Administrator for the install to work properly instead of opening it normally.

So, you were logged in to your PC as an administrator yet you had to run GE as Administrator in order for the install to work. That is different from me in that I elevated my Windows user privileges to administrator but did not run GE as Administrator. I don't think this should matter though because the way I understand the 'install map to PC' process, GE creates a map installer which it then runs to do the map installation. I deduce this because it triggers a UAC prompt that requires admin authentication. IIRC, the UAC prompt shows the name of installer file but I've never made note of it. It is at this point where I loose any conjecture into why different behaviors and results are experienced by different people.

Ya, I have no idea either. At least we have found different solutions in case someone has the same issue
