Garmin Updates

Garmin has a downloadable program to keep your GPS updated:

if you have an older unit you may have to search to find other updates for it.

 

Ive had mine (255w) for two years and haven't updated it,really isn't a "need"
the majority of the update content is worthless "points of interest" type crap.

 

I love my Garmin...but

You need access to a high speed connection. The updates are huge, and dial up could take a week or more. Why Garmin hasn't figured out how to install "updates" is beyond me. They force you to format and install the whole #### thing.

If you've had your Garmin for awhile. you would be better off buying a new one. A single update is about 30-50% of the cost of a new unit.

A lifetime subscription, cost $120. And most are worthless, outside the free one you get with the unit.

 

U can d/l the 2011 map update (hacked version) from various torrent sites I have it running now on my Garmin 465 t. If your unsure about how to get this file better do a little research on torrent d/l's . I have updated my prior gps's this way (garmin models) hasn't cost me a dime to have the newest map set
