Is there another way to update your Garmin without using express?
The other useful feature of Express is it will tell you how many updates are waiting for your GPS - assuming you have registered it.
And there was a new update to Express in May I believe.

True but that method is what rendered my Garmin inoperative other than showing a very basic map. Major highways only and no search functionality. I tried maybe 25 times to update the latest maps, and it would go thru the update download and install with reboot but never actually did the map update.
I tried different areas and WiFi spots. One was excellent at -80 DB but nothing worked until the express. Since it took 8 hours I assume it completely rewrote all the software and maps. And the cell signal here is much weaker at -100 DB
