Thread: How to get the needed firmware/software from the Garmin website

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The reason is Garmin seems to be gradually shifting from the outdated WebUpdater to modern Express, which uses completely different update server and protocol.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:

Code:

Please Login or Register to see the links

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

Code:

Please Login or Register to see the links

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.
