Garmin Maps. Up Dates.

[BrokenPaw]

Hi,
I have managed to get my life time up date recognised, and down loaded the map up dates.
However, I have 2 European city maps:-

NT 2013.4

NT 2013.41 3D

The first gives plenty of detail, but the second does not even give minor roads!
Probably just finger trouble with me, but has anyone else noticed this?

3D is 3D images of buildings

2013.4 had problems with routing in the Netherlands, so 2013.41 was released. As long as you downloaded the updates via a Garmin download application, then what you have will be correct.

Gosh, that was quick. Many thanks.
I had better down load the up dated second one again, as maybe something got corrupted. It was Garmin Express that I used.

It was Garmin Express that I used.

Garmin Express

Garmin Mapupdater, my preferred option:

Quite so.
Why do I always want to find a dark room after any time with Garmin.
Tried to do another down load, but was told all my maps were updated.
Still no detail on the 2013.41 3D.
So, was trying to plan on Basecamp on my mac using 2013.4, but when I transferred to the Nav 4, it had to recalculate the route, as the maps in the Nav were 2013.41 3D and 2013.41.
Oddly, I got 3D on the 2013.4; maybe not buildings.

If I could I would delete all the maps and re-load, but cannot find how to do that!

I think I ran into a problem as well trying to get the up-dater installed. I do not think Garmin want it used.

Off to the dark room now, and then try again.
Thanks for all your help and patience with an idiot.

Many thanks all.
That was mighty strange.
Downloaded up-dater to my mac.
Then ignored some dire warnings, and as I had an SD in the Nav 4, am now trying to download to mac and Nav 4!
It's real slow, but it would be cool if it worked.
Garmin told me it would not a few weeks back.
Special thanks to John.

Stranger and stranger.
Via updater I have got 2013.4 on mac and sat nag.
On Nav 4 I have
Europe 2013.41 3D

then with a prefix [1] North America and [1] Europe 2013.41.

This is with a 16gb sd card.

I wanted to try and get just europe on the device and America on the SD card.
However, despite having around 15gb left on the card, my American download stopped due to no space.
Took the card out and read it, but no obvious map file with the sort of space I expected (5gb)
I have backed up the card now.

Is this possible to sort the maps out between card and device, or am I in over my depth.

Surely it should not be this hard to get maps and save them to places and use them?

Oh, is the prefix[1] the device or the sd card? I am really getting confused when I have to ask that question.
