Only if you purchased the unit within the past few months. I think it's 6 months but I could be wrong. I was able to get a free update past the deadline the first year, but not now. It bites. Updates should be free since there is so much misinformation in the originial unit I had.

Map updates are rarely needed for the lifetime of the GPS... I would NEVER EVER pay a monthly fee... Ripp-off

I'm not a good source for to answer your question. I sporadically access My Garmin to check for system and map updates and that's about it. I can only wonder if what you seek is available for a price from Garmin. You might check out either their website or possibly via your My Garmin app.

I didn't find any obsolete road information, but for businesses the data was so unreliable that I gave up using it. Of course, the lack of free updates made the maps useless, too, eventually, and I ended up giving the Roadmat to my grandson as a toy and got a Garmin unit, which has free updates.

I don't know, and the GARMIN site is not at all useful since it is a discontinued product. If you are still able to update maps, and if the device has a MicroSD slot, then it should work.

I don't know the answer but you can call Garmin and they will answer the question, you do not have to currently own one and they do not charge to answer the questions.

Yes, you do have to pay for updates.Garmin just released updated maps. They are FREE for recent buyers of other units. But, Garmin will NOT give a free copy to buyers of the Garmin i5.The updated maps cost $70.

I am shopping for my 1st GPS. TomTom 340TM is supposed to include free maps for the life of the device. How can they refuse to upgrade the maps on your refurb? slloyd1000@verizon.net

My guess is that they will be behind by one version at least. I've never bought a GPS that didn't need an update after purchase. Easy to update via web access and generally free initially at least.

My unit, which I bought last summer after it was discontinued, came packaged with a unique code that enables me to get map updates. Once the software is set up with the code on your computer, the process is straightforward. I suppose it could make a difference if the seller is not an authorized seller, but probably not since the code was in the sealed box.

Want to know if map updates are available for this GPS? Free or not. if not, in a year or two maps tend to become unreliable. Want to know how much cost?

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one. I purchased a new unit but can tell you that all of the user information and map updates are readily available on the Garmin internet site.

Answer to Question 1: Garmin releases U.S. Map updates for all of their Nav units yearly. They come on dvd and usually cost around $75. If you have a Windows PC with DVD drive and USB Port, you can usually update your unit in about an hour.

It's called Garmin express. It is the same program you use to update maps and software.
