RE: NAV 5 UPDATE. - 2

Thanks all, once connected to Garmin express (which did show update available) took about 5 mins then once the Nav v picked up gps satellites all good.

All done, same delay picking up satellite info -- plus -- I forgot about 'auto update' on time that I disabled - so Holland Norway and London, my 3 locations on world time were all updated but my local southwest uk was 1 hour wrong since I manually set it.
3 mins on bike cradle and time also updated - can I claim from Garmin for the lost 19 years "before next service" now it states july 2020?
No option to ride anywhere, still stuck on batterycharger while updating - it's too cold and road salt needs to be washed away.

Well for now at least, I can no longer update my NAV V... Garmin Express tells me I need a whopping 15Gb free space available on my laptop SSD, and despite using all the tricks available (except for actually deleting other software) I've been unable to free up that amount. No way of using space on a flash drive or network storage, either. What an unmitigated heap of crap Garmin are.

OK, Got the latest Garmin Express and updated my Nav V and all is well!! I am very surprised that the UK Garmin support guys don't know about this fix.

Maybe their internal systems need a sort out?

Thanks for the notice. I have a new MacBook that's about 2.5 years old and an old MacBook that's about 9 years old. The lates Mac OS is Catalina. Garmin does not have any software that is compatible with Catalina. None. It's a good thing I still had my old MacBook, which I used to update my Nav V since it does not have Catalina.

New technology is such a "love / hate" relationship!

Edit: I have Catalina on my macbook

This is a bit odd. My home computer is updated with Catalina. Just opened base camp and it looks to be working fine. It appears that Mapinstall (4.1.1), and map manager (3.0.1) are 32 bit and won't work

Looks like Garmin put a delay in place, maybe letting the new update go live for a few days. Anyway just had two emails, probably because I made a telephone report and then a website report so they confirm new 3.50software's release to clear correct time and date.

From Garmin ...

"We have released a new software version (3.50) to address the issue with the time and date on your BMW Nav V. Please use Garmin Express to update the device to the latest version."

For us Mac people it's pretty easy to see what is going to work on Catalina. From the apple menu do am about this Mac/ system report. Then click on the software options and get a list of all the applications on the computer. As you click on each one the window shows the info for the application. It indicates if 32 or 64 bit. Check in 'applications', 'legacy software' etc.

If your base camp won't work you'll need to go to Garmin web site and get the latest version. Mine is 4.8.4 and works. I'm at work (still on the old system here) but my other Garmin programs show as all 64 bit: Express 6.14.0.0; map install 4.3.2; map manager 3.1.2; web updater 2.1.3

Just updated mine, Date and time are now correct.
I also spotted in the My Motorcycle / Last Ride feature some lean angle data! Is this new, I haven’t seen it before? Anyone else? Did I just miss it?
Sadly my ‘results’ were very unimpressive, although it was the day I picked my new bike up so I’m going to go easy on myself this time, with a comment of must try harder for next term!

Nonesense, yes they do. They contacted me telling me that there was a fix available. I did as they told me to do & it works perfectly. One trap is that you have to reboot the GPS after downloading & installing the new software.
