Software Reviews and Criticism

  Won't find my device

  I downloaded this app store version thinking that it would find my 3790 Nuvi, but it won't. I rebooted, I tried their communicator plug in, but none of that worked. The old app seems to see my device and download the updates, but they won't install since it then says it can't find the device. My Windows and Safari are fully up to date and I tried it with Chrome. No useful error messages either. I will have to find a PC to update the maps. The device won't mount as a drive like their help pages say either. However, it charges fine from a variety of USB cables that I tried. Those cables work fine for other devices. My TomTom Software works much better for my other GPS unit. Hints For Garmin Put some error messages in there so at least people with a clue can do some more work finding out why it might not work. Update you help pages beyond old versions of the OS and browsers. The old updater apps used to work a few months ago. Blame Microsoft, but, your debugging team should have figured things out and issues an update. I can't be the only Windows user out here.

  Great App!

  This is a great app! I have been using it for years from Garmin's website. It lets you update your Garmin GPS software and choose individual updates, including different voices for your device. For newer devices; such as, nüvi 3590LMT, it has been way easier to use this app to update GPS software than Garmin's myDashboard page. I give it 5 stars for its ease-of-use and it does exactly what it says.

  great for updates

  I downloaded the app and it updated my 2597in less than a minute. The website took over an hour when I updated it last time. The only complaint is you can not download the extras like voice or car changes with this app.

  I feel like I went back in time to the 80s when Windows ruled the world

  I just purchased a Garmin GPSMAP 64st and am trying to logon to the Garmin site. Endless downloads and links to sites that don’t work then forces me to logon again claiming I don’t have an account but then informs me that my account is already registered. My device has been supposedly updated three times to the latest version of software. This app is the latest process and I have no idea if this is correct or not. So much for creating a terrible user experience.
