Garmin Express update fixes map issues and improves synchronization

Garmin is best known for its smartwatches, which can typically be used for years without ever needing to connect to a computer. Syncing and updates are usually handled via Bluetooth or, depending on the model, Wi-Fi. However, Garmin Express remains an important companion tool, enabling users to connect their devices via USB to install firmware updates, manage maps, and add Connect IQ apps. Garmin has now released Garmin Express 7.29.0. The update can be installed via the built-in update function.

The official changelog is brief and includes a general note about various minor bug fixes and improvements, without going into detail. One specifically addressed issue could previously prevent users from redeeming purchased content. In addition, a problem with the update queue has reportedly been resolved. A translation error affecting traditional Chinese characters has also been fixed, though this is unlikely to impact most European users. Another fix is not listed in the changelog but mentioned in a forum post: Garmin Express 7.29.0 should restore proper map management functionality, allowing users to organise installed maps correctly once again.
