As you might notice, the old way of getting the updates cannot get the latest firmwares, for instance, for Edge 1030 and some other devices.
The reason is Garmin seems to be gradually shifting from the outdated WebUpdater to modern Express, which uses completely different update server and protocol.

In [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] archive, there is a PHP script to get the latest update for a given device.
Usage:

For instance, for Edge 1030 the command line should be (I suppose php is included in PATH environment variable):

Unfortunately, the "Details" link is not returned by the server, only the modifications are listed.

The script can easily be modified to retrieve the update info for a bunch of device IDs in a single server request.

Hi, I'm trying to download the firmware for 34xx series nuvi. I've viewed the page source etc on the appropriate garmin webpage and copied the link into my browser. The problem is that it doesn't download a file but rather just displays the contents as text characters in my browser. Any solution? Thanks

@pete pumpkin
Highlighting and clicking this should give you the file directly:

If it doesn't work then try another browser because your settings may be preventing the download. You shouldn't see anything when you copy/paste that link into your address bar and save it other maybe than a popup window, depending on your PC settings, like this:

If it still doesn't work then use this link:

Today, Perry's archive is 404. Although the directory page was archived by archive.org, none of the leaf files were.
Download.garmin.com/... is also 404.
I have not tried GetGarminSingleUpdate_cli.php yet, because I haven't determined my HWID. What are the HWID's for the Nuvi 2589?

Garmin will only offer the current version of the device's firmware if it needs updating. GarminExpress will do that for you.

There are 2 versions of US/EU 25x9 devices, they operate the same but have different firmware. The HWIDs are 1758 and 1947(C4), both V8.80 firmwares are available direct from Garmin but be certain to get the correct one as cross-flashing with the wrong one will brick your device:

You can find your device's HWID in several ways: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Must have been a temporary outage at Garmin or I used a bad link, today it downloaded using your link above.
But Perry is still down. Pity!
I also managed to get my HWID using G7ToWin.
To use G7ToWin, the Garmin drivers must be explicitly downloaded and installed - installing Garmin Express does not install them.
Now I feel like I can move forward with coaching. I will post my symptoms and actions in the big "If you want help" thread.
