Map Update RV760lmt Failed

I have a Garmin rv760lmt and tried my first map update tonight. When I started it said it would take approx. 2hr and 40min to load. It started the download and got about 1hr in and an error message popped up and it stopped the download. I tried it again and now it says it has 1hr and 3min left but then I get the error again. It does not tell what the error is only that one occurred. I did use up 2.5 gig so I must have gotten something. We are leaving on a trip in the morning so I am hoping I did not loose any of what I had with the old version.

  • A strong 4G hotspot signal would work, but Garmin map updates can be HUGE and will really eat into your data plan.

    Find a good strong FREE WiFi.
  • Thanks for the help. I am using a hot spot, that may be the problem and I will add a memory card. I programed our trip and it seems to work so I will try again we I get time. I will take the old garmin with us just in case. Its sad that I have got so dependent on this thing. Thanks again for the help.
  • This is not uncommon. Make sure you have a strong internet connection and try it VERY late at night or VERY early in the morning when their servers are not so busy.

    The good thing is that when you restart, it usually starts from where it quit, not from the beginning.
  • When I tried to update mine it ran out of installed memory. I had to add a memory card to be able to get all the download....Fits in on the side and then just leave it in. I think I bought an 8GB card.......Mike
  • Try calling the Garmin people tomorrow, they're usually pretty helpful.

  • Are you trying to use a wifi hot spot or are you downloading via high speed internet?
    It is going to need a high speed, at least DSL speed to get it to work.
