Software update process on 1490T via MyGarmin

I've updated my 1490T online to the latest 2011 maps on the free update. The process, thru USB, took a while but the whole process was fine. Afterwards in the MyGarmin profile, it's written that there is a software update available (no version or update number). So I did the whole process successfully. But I still got the "Update Available". Even after several times, I can't seem to be up-to-date. Anybody had this issue resolved? Thanks!

Updates on 1490T

Just got my new Nuvi 1490T, and so am in the process of personalising it and giving it the lastest updates. I had the same problem, but solved it simply by closing MyGarmin, disconnecting the device, reconnecting and restarting MyGarmin. Bingo - it checked all the maps and drivers and told me it was now up to date. Had to do it twice though.

I also have a new 1490T and followed the instructions like alanandrose and it worked first time.
are you unpluging the unit after it copies the files to your gamin ( when it tells you to ) and letting it RESTART ( fully ) prior to reconnecting to the PC

Restart?

Did you do the full restart as per the instructions? I had to re boot myself and the click the done button. It reset perfectly with no errors.

Reboot after software update

I did my update and rebooted, no problems at all,

Just like a computer OS software update, taht normally requires a reboot.

Re:1490

I had the same problem with my 1490. I tried several times without success.

I switched to the 3790. The first time I updated the software it did the same thing so I reinstalled it again without success, after the third time I did not have the problem and it is functioning fine.

I am not sure why the Garmin devices do this but I think it may be a bug in some of there units and you need to be persistent to get it done.
