Which projection does this map use? When was it last updated to include boundary changes?

I'm not sure I can answer that. My interest was in cuting the map's land masses off the map and using them on a piece of canvas to get the sames right. Then I used a glue to paste postage stamps into the sames of the land masses. It was not important to me to get boarder lines correct because it was the world not the contries I was after. See the results. http://texnormanartist.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-stamp-map.html

I have just bought a Tomtom XL from Amazon. The SW told me my map is up to date, yet, I know the map was released at 2007. Instead of going thru the tool->latest map guarantee menu, I went to other menu to purchase the map, the message said my map is 5 quarter behind and then when I tried to purchase, it showed the version of the map available to my system is at 8.xxx.I will have to call Tomtom tomorrow to find out what's going on.

Well, it is the updated model...with the features mentioned, plus speed limits for major roads and an indication if you are exceeding it. The maps aren't up to date (at least on mine ordered in Oct. 2012) If you have a memory card that fits the unit you can upload new maps. I had to buy one. I found that (once I had the memory card) the first download of maps took less than an hour when I used the 800 number--unlike the 4 to 5 hours mentioned on line. (I had registered the GPS online.)

The maps on my card were 2010. We used it in 2013 and had to work around several areas of Norway. With the adapting of those countries to EU standards you will see a number of changes and with construction, particularly in Norway, I suggest you pay the extra for a new chip.

EARL -- curious about the time line in your post. I see that on the Magellan site they show Map Upgrade v45 as being the most current. If I read your post correctly, that upgrade was originally released in Dec 2011 and then retracted and in Feb you still didn't have it? That would suggest the current Map Upgrade v45 is at BEST 5 months old (if they released it February 19th

I found that the 3rd party maps ordered at a greatly discounted price does not allow for updates of maps. I guess if it came with the maps preloaded you would get the lifetime updates (LM). I currently have the European maps and get the updates. Did you purchase the unit with LM designated behind model number?

Not that I have been able to figure out. I still have been using MapMyRun to track that information.

No, and the actual amount of info shown is very minimal compared to competition. Even after the latest map update, serious map errors and POI list is nearly worthless. Buy anything else, it can't be a lower quality product. Large screen is only useful feature. Just completed an 8500 mile trip around the county with this frustrating device!

Thanks P. Romero. I would really like to buy from Amazon because of the price and what not but I don't want to have to pay $75 for a map update after I buy. Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

I am using the 2013 version. It updates the road conditions each time I use it on "Road Planning." I have used previous versions of 2000, 2006 and 2009. I am using the 2013 version on the desk top and the 2013 version with the GPS receiver on the laptop.

I have found that a map update for my Magellan device, that also included Lifetime Maps for free, ended up costing me $50.Is there anyone here that has actually updated their 1490LMT with a new map? I am in search of a new nav. device that actuallyhas a map from this decade in it.-Thanks

Not sure when the UK maps were last updated. Ask Garmin directly on their website. They are very good at getting back. We used the current version last October and was very pleased, especially when using the thousands of rotaries in the UK. Just be careful about of a road. There they are more like paths with very high hedgerows on each side and no place to pullover.

Hi Eddie.Maps are currently updated to the latest version (late 2013). I suspect newer ones coming out soon though. They are updated using a SD card. You can purchase new ones on pioneers website or download them (hint. Avic411.com usually posts them a few weeks after public release)Let me know if you have any other questions

Yes it uses Openstreet Map that are detailed. IMO they look better than the maps on my old edge 605.

I also have the 2008 maps. Rarely do I run into changes, and I doubt that you will in Italy. Eastern Europe can be more tricky though, there could have been more infrastructure changes.
