Satnav 2020 update is released
« on: October 05, 2019, 02:22:55 PM »
Randomly thinking that I should maybe update the satnav before a planned journey as you do, I installed the Garmin Express satnav software onto my PC and started the update process.
(For a 2018 Sport Navi.)
It's quite easy I have to say, though the Garmin site is slow downloading at only 8Mbs here so it seemed to take ages to download the approx. 7.5 Gb file.
2020 version though it said, and it took only about 20 minutes to install into the car from the USB port.

Thanks for the heads up:

I went to https://honda.garmin.com/honda/site and it says

"The 2020 map update has not been released yet; please check back in the near future."

Am I going to the wrong place?

UPDATE: Followed guide and it says it's downloading 2020 Map, so fingers crossed.

UPDATE2: It seemed to work the Garmin app said 2020, but when I look at the software on the car it says that detailed maps are 2018? I will see if it knows any more junctions.

After testing it does work well, it seems less glitchy than the previous version in my experience.

But yes it's not a great system, Garmin: it tells you one thing but when you look closely it says another as mcderd says about the maps & versions - but on mine it certainly has junctions, roundabouts etc. on it that are definitely not in the previous version.
