We always use our atlas to verify any routes chosen by the Garmin. Well, I'd heard that you get a free update so I contacted them. Turns out they wanted you to purchase the "updated maps". I was livid...I'd just bought it! So, I rant & rave in an email to them (see the nic! LOL) & they finally agree to send me the update. We installed it...guess what? NO DIFFERENCE!
There ARE things you can add to your GPSs' though. They're called "points of interest" & contain things that interest you. For instance we found 1 that contained Cat Scales which we often need to weigh loads to insure they're not overweight. I like wineries...guess you know there's wineries listed as points of interest. You'll need the cable but ours came with it.
OK, long enough, I think you will find it helpful! |
Thank you so much for the info. We've had ours though for a couple of years. We really need the updated maps. We specifically have a new interstate that was added after the fact that we travel quite frequently.
I just checked the prices @Best Buy & can buy a newer model for $99.99. Just doesn't make sense? Why pay that much for updated map? It seems if u r going to spend the money for updates, the lifetime updates would be more beneficial. Guess that's what they know.
