Re: No option to download maps to PC
Thanks - I'll check that out. I haven't updated to 2026.3 yet. (I have 4 Zumos to update !!)
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

Re: No option to download maps to PC
The install to computer option is now located by clicking the large Manage Maps button when it says 'You're up to date!'
Pressing that gives this screen which allows you to insatll maps to the Zumo, to the SD card and to the Computer.
It also has a little message that indicates that it is still supporting use of the maps on Basecamp.
This is with the XT2 connected, maps v 2026.30, Express version 7.27.0. I had already installed the maps on the XT2 - but I do not think this is a pre-requisite.

Garmin XT2 does not show option to install map to PC, not even second time I connect but BMW Navigator VI does show option to install map to PC.
My guess it is not just a Garmin Express version which blocks the install to PC

Re: No option to download maps to PC
Don't worry about that. I couldn't find it either, and I was expecting it to be in the wrong place. The problem is that I knew where it was before - so that seems to make a difference. Basically, I didn't look properly at first.

Re: No option to download maps to PC
I had always been able to do until now. I could see the map in Basecamp with ZumoXT2 connected. It had been updated a week ago on the device. But no option to add to computer when I connected today.
After searching here I disconnected the XT and reconnected it. Voila now the download option is there.
Strange behaviour.
