Garmin Map Updates

It is my understanding that the maps are available for updates 4 times per year.

It is less expensive to purchase the lifetime update for around $119.

After traveling around the US for 31 days this summer, I would not travel without one in the future whether here in the US or Europe.

I just love that gadjet.

JB,

You may not require updates. How old is your GPS "gadget"?

I've updated both the North American and European Maps in my Garmin Nuvi in the last year, and these were a bit on the expensive side, so probably the $119 lifetime upgrade would be a good value.

Cheers!

I thought the $119 lifetime only provided for North American maps. Does it also give European maps for devices the come with those?

Mine came with only the NA map....did not notice they had the Lifetime for both NA and European.

Therefore, I will have to buy the European Maps.

Thanks for calling that to my attention.
