Clicked to check/make sure I had the latest maps/software installed and was notified that Garmin has released a new version of GarminExpress. As it says in the title, the current version is 7.17.1.0. Don't know what was changed. After installing the update, all my GPS units showed being up-to-date w/maps & software. I'm good to go!
 
Express updates only seem to be issued to allow use with new devices (that I don't use) or to fix new bugs caused by previous updates. I can't recall an update that actually improved the program.

I update Express only when it is required in order to update maps or firmware.

I might update earlier if Garmin ever revived Express' ability to install the Basecamp map on my D: drive. Manually moving the map with every update is a nuisance.
