Hello,

I have an old, but reliable, Garmin 1490T GPS and for some years now, each time I connect the GPS to my computer, Garmin Express offers me the following update:

Proximity Text, GLX, All Languages
Version 3.70

I install the update, Garmin Express says the update was successful. I then unplug the GPS, power it off and on and, once up, I plug it back to my computer and Garmin Express offers me the exact same update again.

If I look in the \Garmin subdirectory on the GPS, I see this 'D165900.zip' file. I am assuming this file contains the updates to be installed. I also expected this zip file to be deleted once the update is actually installed on the device after the power off/on cycle, but it is not. The file does not seem to be corrupt, I can read it's content without problems.

I have manually deleted this .zip file, and it did not resolve the issue. Garmin Express just install it again the next time I plug the device back in.

GarminDevice.xml shows version 3.50 installed:

<UpdateFile>
<PartNumber>006-D1659-00</PartNumber>
<Version>
<Major>3</Major>
<Minor>50</Minor>
</Version>
<Path>Garmin</Path>
<FileName>D165900.zip</FileName>
</UpdateFile>

I have deleted this file, however, a power off/on cycle of the GPS causes the file to be re-created with the same version values.

I am assuming that the GPS tries to install the update from version 3.50 to version 3.70 but that fails for some reason leaving the file there.

Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve this?

Thanks
