how do I up date my maps

Hi. Go to Garmin.com and find your GPS model listed there. Then click on "Update Maps". Then enter your payment information and download the new 2014/2015 map. Expensive as heck, but worth it if need the latest. Option Two: buy a new (updated & preloaded) GPS for around $100- to $130-.Personally I'd rather buy a new one than update my 2 year old Garmin. Your call of course!Good luck! ;-D

Well, I need to do that myself as well. I did buy European maps when I lived there. I am technologically challenged, so my great assistant helped me try to install the map from online. We tried to download the European map which did not work, so I bought the SD card/chip for about $100. Not sure this was helpful at all.

Updating these units is not a problem as long as you can do math prior to the update. Delete unessential voices (computer voices are larger), back up the old outdated map to your computer, delete the outdated map, download and install the new map. You should have plenty of space. If you're not sure do the following math (available space) - (space required for update) where result is a positive number means you can do the update. 5 minutes of googling will save you hours of hassle.

I have recently been in touch with Pioneer about this and to date they don't have a map upgrade available. Seems weird since the maps are getting fairly old but I guess keeping the maps up to date isn't a priority with Pioneer. Just another annoyance with a unit that I have been very disappointed with.

Lifetime map updates should still be working. The only thing I've read is that you should let it update the unit fully with the one free update (outside of the lifetime maps) and not put in the code for the lifetime map updates until later. It may have trouble if you put the code in right away.I have this model that I bought about a month and a half ago. Works great. No complaints.

The map are loaded on this unit. The maps are from 2010. I would recommend getting the life time updates for 100.00 bucks that way you will be up to date with road in the US. P.Hansen

Yes to your question. However, I would not recommend the purchase. It has numerous problems and locks up and require rebutting and start it up again. Map updates are few and far between and currently, they have not updated the Content Manager (Program to down load Upgrades) to work with my current operating system on my computer. And do not know when they will have it corrected.

pretty sure u need an internet connection to download the maps, since they arent preloaded. but after they are, gps should work offline

Make sure you have the tollways option selected and if that doesn't do it then try updating maps again. Good luck.

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

The garmin maps are no good. Pretty outdated and are not life time. You need to download the latest maps if updates are available.

I bought factory refurbished and i satisfied with the quality and to update the map just visit the website and connect your device when you install the application, it will guide you to update your map immediately.

You will not need to upgrade your maps. Things do not change in Europe as they do here. I would suggest you preload your destinations here so that when your feet hit the ground turn on your GPS and go. I used those maps in October 2010 with no problems.

I think they made the map system years ago, but they have updates that make it current, you can download for free.

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.
