In simple terms yes
But it wasnt simple!
700i and Garmin Express were both up to date. But when I tried to update the maps GE gave an error. If I tried to enter Manage Maps it shut down and restarted.
I had worked out things ran ok if I removed the SD card. So the problem lies there. I tried removing all my OSM maps but no success with that. Then removed CN and made a bit of progress.
But it would give a message saying I needed more spare memory on the internal memory to install onto the SD card even though I have about 4.5GB. If I ignored that then it would stop around 25% complete. I found if I restarted it again then the progress would go a bit further until eventually it says I'm all up to date.
Just copying my OSM maps back onto the SD card and then I will see if the install worked.

humm- scratching of head continues!
I still cannot work out what is taking up all your units' internal memory. Bizarre
Maybe using a new, higher class micro sd may work better if you think the fault lies there.

The OP was Davey Bee re- satnav problems which I solved -
Then followed by some which Thewarden is currently experiencing and where I am also trying to help solve.
So yes Ted, I am very comfortable with what you call 'irony'  - 
Perhaps you'd like to chime in with satnav specific information to help?
No? didn't think so you luddite

All updated and working. The issues with Garmin EXpress are widely reported with no real solution from Garmin. It would be nice if the software worked as designed.
My internal memory is just the standard files, preoaded maps (less CN) which account for 8.8GB. My gpx files are only 50mb

Good. Happy for you.
The only issue I'v experience with Garmin Express is when someone at Garmin placed a software update belonging to a different sat nav causing...a brick.
That was over a year ago. Not seen any issues with Express since.
I'll say no more 'cuz Ted's lurking...

Talking about bricks, presumably there must be some way to get the firmware reinstalled in the event of a glitch?
