One solution is to offer at The Factory the text of Garmin link but I think there was some hesitation among TPTB here in using that method. One is that a Garmin FAQ or Support link may be here today and next week, but that there's a fair chance it will be gone in 1-2 years. There are a couple small issues related to this which the FAQ authors will do well to check occasionally. I've certainly seen Garmin links offered with POI Factory FAQs and certainly with forum discussions. maybe the "Common Problems and Solutions"? Or are links to the Garmin Support site discouraged or not allowed in the POI Factory FAQ's? Suggestions? I was trying to think if this link should be added to an existing POI Factory FAQ. Here is the Garmin FAQ: Why does my Downloadable Content freeze at 50%? I know this does not answer all of the problems addressed in this current thread, but maybe could explain a couple of them. I ran across this recently added FAQ on the Garmin support site regarding map updates failing at the 50% completed mark. My 3590 shows the new update was indeed installed. I tested it out today on a previously scheduled 120 mile round trip and it worked perfect. Not sure what happened but it does appear the map was installed correctly to my 3590. But just a second before that happened I was still stuck at 50% installed. I just waited it out for about 15 minutes and then all of a sudden GE said everything was finished installing. The percentage installed also went backward to around 50% completed. When I got to around 65% installed all of a sudden my time remaining went from 12 minutes left and suddenly jumped to 23 hours left. It shows the most current version map, but it never installed completely using Garmin Express. I tried reinstalling the current map again and it stops before 73% installed and it starts over again at 50%. I unplugged my Garmin 2595 and then I plugged it back in, it showed that My GPS has the most current version map file. I tried using the stand alone map installer with windows 10 and it crashes every time I run it. I uninstalled and reinstalled Garmin express and it didn't help. I keep trying to install the new map file and it gets to 73% installed then it starts the reinstall again starting from 50%.
