Installing new NA maps -- frozen at "activating maps"
A couple hours ago I started updating my 3597 with the recently released 2018.something North America release. I've done this a couple times before with Garmin Express with no problems. However, for the last two hours the progress bar has been stopped about halfway across, at the step 3 of 3 "updating maps" point, showing 49 minutes left. The app still seems to be running; don't see the dreaded "not responding" in windows task manager, however, all progress seems to have halted.
Just wondering what my options are at this point. Can I just close Express and start over, or is there a risk that would leave my 3597 in some undefined state that would be difficult to recover from? Never had this happen before.

However, I, the first two times, left it for as long as 15 hours - without further progress.
It is not simply a matter of Garmin being bad at predicting time remaining. There's more involved.
Count yourself lucky this time.
