An update 'Voice, German, Marie (VCT)', is always being proposed as update. Even, when successfully installed, it will be upon reconnect via USB offered in Garmin Express again. The cause is, as the GarminDevice.xml, generated by my Montana 750i, is wrong.
 
This is the corrupt part of GarminDevice.xml:
<UpdateFile>
<PartNumber>006-D2028-00</PartNumber>
<Version>
<Major>0</Major>
<Minor>0</Minor>
</Version>
<Path>Garmin/Voice</Path>
<FileName>Deutsch__Marie.vpm</FileName>
</UpdateFile>

As you can see, the <Major> and <Minor> Tags are having a 0 (zero) as value. Because of zero, the voice update is offered forever. <Major> should be set to value 2 and <Minor> to value 1, which is version 2.1, as currently being offered through Garmin Express and WebUpdater.

I guess, this is some firmware bug? Or *.vpm file bug?

Excellent observation!

Information has been forwarded to Garmin software engineers for evaluation.

I noticed this same problem on my GPSMap 276Cx.

Issue still exists with firmware 10.50.

Requested clarification from Garmin Software Engineers....

Still having a zero as version in firmware 10.80.

Still having a zero as version in firmware 10.90.

Still having a zero as version in firmware 13.10.

Still not fixed with firmware 14.80.

I guess, Garmin has no intention in fixing this. As of 15.20 and 16.50, it's still reported as version zero.
