Configure Garmin Express to download files to a different partition

Posted by crox on Sunday, March 29. 2020

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>
