Garmin Offers Map Updates for Lifetime and Free One-Time Update
One of my biggest complaints with my Garmin device has always been the cost of updating the maps, well, that and it occasionally sucking. With the cost of updating maps nearly costing the price of the Garmin device itself, it hard to swallow the shelling out the money for the update (that’s not what she said, even if the Office did start up again).
Garmin now offers lifetime map updates on a unit for a decent price and lowered the cost of a onetime update. In addition, Garmin offers a one-time free update within 60 days of first acquiring satellites on your device, so don’t wait too long after purchasing to update. Without understanding the cost associated with building these maps, it seems realistic that Garmin customers should be receiving free updates with any device, but I guess that’s out of the question.
The new and improved map update prices are:
- 1 free map update (within 60 days of first acquiring satellites with your device)
- One time map update = $49.99
- Lifetime map updates = $89.99
- You will receive up to four (4) map data updates per year.
