Thank you for your reply lolypop.
what i did is went to my.garmin.com account,
and updated the "new" 3490LMT with the required updates.
I was surprised to see that mydashboard sees it as 3790LMT but
pointed me to update it with the 3490LMT files.
everything is now working perfectly.
Thank you everyone for your help!
Cheers!
