Unable to update GARMIN Nuvi 2445

Hello,

I am unable to update the maps on my GPS.
When I attempted to update, I first went to the Garmin website, where I created an account when I purchased the GPS a few years ago.
To update the maps, I installed Garmin Express.

When I launch Garmin Express, it indicates that Garmin Express does not support this device and that I need to use Garmin Map Updater.

Noted, I download Garmin Map Updater.
I check the box regarding the license terms and conditions.
It indicates that a nüMaps Lifetime update is available... I click continue.
I check a box again on the EULA (End User License Agreement).

And then: "The update is not available for this Garmin GPS as no previous version of the map is installed." I click OK, the window closes, and I am left with my GPS with its old map...

What should I do?

Thank you
Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 42.0.2311.152

Good evening,

GPS purchased in 2012, I updated the maps (and put a new one) in 2013 via my Garmin...
since then, I forgot to update the map last year.

Hello,

I spoke with Garmin customer service today: it was the version of Garmin Express that was "bugging";
After updating the app version, my GPS was recognized and the map updates are being installed.

Thank you for the number
I am marking the issue as resolved
Have a nice day

Hello,

Same problem: "the update is not available for this Garmin GPS because no previous version of the map is installed"

Which version did you use and where did you find it?

Thank you
