Short answer: you can't. Files (map data, firmware updates etc.) are always downloaded to %ProgramData%\Garmin\CoreService\Download (typically C:\ProgramData\Garmin\CoreService\Download)

The only solution I could find is to move that folder to another partition (make sure to completely exit Garmin Express first), then create a link to it:

c:>cd C:\ProgramData\Garmin\CoreService

c:\ProgramData\Garmin\CoreService>mklink /J Downloads "d:\Garmin.Downloads"
Junction created for Downloads <<===>> d:\Garmin.Downloads

c:\ProgramData\Garmin\CoreService>

Since Apple moved from JPEG to HEIF as default format about two years ago, there has been a lot of progress.

There is a very straightforward way to add minimal HEIC/HEIF support to Ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:strukturag/libheif
sudo apt-get install heif-gdk-pixbuf heif-gimp-plugin heif-thumbnailer

That's it! You don't even need to logout or restart, the new functionality is available immediately.

I've been using the staticmaplite library for a while to generate static maps based on OSM tiles.

Recently I started getting the following error when downloading tiles:

Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.

The OSM team was very responsive when I contacted them and they pointed me to https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/.

Based on that info, I checked how staticmap.php was fetching tiles and noticed that the User-Agent string was hardcoded to "Mozilla/4.0". I fixed this and now I can fetch tiles again. You can get the updated version from here: https://github.com/crox-net/staticmaplite.

To connect to a host using the link-local address you need to specify which interface to use (see "zone index"):
